Routes are calculated on the basis of the time required to reach the destination. In other words, TomTom Navigator
calculates the quickest way to get you to your destination.
If, for some reason, you want to get rid of a particular route (for instance because you drive into a traffic jam or a road
construction), you can request an alternative route. Such an alternative will use different roads, and will probably take
more time. An unlimited number of alternatives can be calculated - each alternative will be longer and/or take more
time than the previous one.
