Many of the POIs on your TomTom device include phone numbers. This means that if your device
supports hands-free calling, you can use your device to call the POI as well as planning a route to
the location of the POI.
For example, you can search for a movie theater, call to book a ticket and plan a route to the
theater, and all using your TomTom device.
1. Tap the phone button in the Driving View.
If the button is not visible in the Driving View, tap Make your own menu in the Settings menu
and select Call... to display the button in the Driving View.
2. Tap Point of Interest.
3. Select how you want to search for the POI.
For example, if you want to search for a POI on your route, tap POI along route.
4. Tap the type of POI you want to call.
For example, if you want to call a cinema to reserve a ticket, tap Cinema and then select the
name of the cinema you want to call. Then tap Call or Dial to make the phone call.
Your TomTom device uses your mobile phone to call the POI.
Setting warnings for POIs
You can set a warning sound to be played when you approach a selected type of POI, such as a
gas station.
The following example will show how to set a warning sound to be played when you are 250
yards from a gas station.
1. Tap Manage POIs and then Warn when near POI in the Settings menu.
2. Scroll down the list and tap Gas station.
Tip: To remove a warning, tap on the category name and then tap Yes. POI categories which
have been set with a warning have a sound symbol next to the category name.
3. Set the distance as 250 yards and tap OK.
4. Select Sound effect and then tap Next.
5. Select the warning sound for the POI and then tap Next.
6. If you only want to hear the warning when the POI is directly on a planned route, select Warn
only if POI is on route. Then tap Done.
The warning is set for the selected POI category. You will hear a warning sound when you are
250 yards from a gas station on your route.
Manage POIs
Tap Manage POIs to manage your POI categories and locations.
You can set your TomTom device to let you know when you are near to selected POI locations. In
this way you could, for example, set the device to let you know you when you are approaching a
gas station.
You can create your own POI categories and add your own POI locations to these categories.
