Using suggested destinations
What are suggested destinations?
Your TomTom START can learn your daily driving habits to saved favourite Places and it can also
suggest destinations when you start the device from sleep mode, for example, when driving to Work
in the morning.
Getting ready for suggested destinations
Before you get your first suggested destination, your device needs some time to learn about your
habits. The more regularly you drive with your TomTom START, the faster you will get suggestions
and the more accurate the suggested destinations will be.
To receive suggested destinations, you need to do the following:
In Settings > System > Your information and privacy, switch on Keep journey history on this
device for optional features.
Make sure no route is planned.
If your device has voice control, switch voice control ON. Make sure that your volume is not
muted and is set higher than 20%.
Do some driving for a few days, planning routes to your favourite My Places destinations.
Using suggested destinations
Important: If your device has voice control, you can say Yes or No or select the Yes or No button. If
your device doesn't have voice control, select the Yes or No button.
If your device prompts "Going to X?", where X is a destination, you have 12 seconds to respond yes or
no.
Tip: If you don't respond yes or no, your START assumes a yes.
If you respond yes, your device plans a route to your destination. If you respond no, you can select
from a list of saved Places and recent destinations instead.
Alternatively, if your device prompts "Where do you want to go?", you can choose immediately from
a list of saved Places and recent destinations.
Switching suggested destinations on or off
You can turn suggested destinations on or off at any time. See Route planning and Voice Control (if
your device has voice control) for information on how to switch this feature on or off.
Planning a route to an address using search
Important: In the interest of safety and to avoid distractions while you are driving, you should
always plan a route before you start driving.
To plan a route to an address using search, do the following:
