5. Choose the type of route that should be planned.

• Walking route - a route designed for making the journey on foot.
• Bicycle route - a route designed for making the journey on a bicycle.

options:

• Specific date and time - you will be asked to enter the date and time.
• No specific date and time
If you select either Now or Specific date and time, your XXL uses IQ Routes
to work out the best possible route at that time, using the real average
speeds measured on roads. In this way you can compare how long a
journey takes at different times of day, or on different days of the week.
7. Your TomTom XXL plans the route between the two locations you selected.
