Planning a route in advance
You can use your TomTom VIA to plan a route in advance, selecting your starting point and your
destination.
Here are some more reasons to plan a route in advance:
Find out how long a trip is going to take before you start.
You can also compare trip times for the same route at different times of the day or on different
days of the week. Your VIA uses IQ Routes when planning a route. IQ Routes calculates routes
based on the real average speeds measured on roads.
Study the route of a trip you are planning.
Check a route for someone who is coming to visit you and then explain the route to them in
detail.
