When a faster route is available
If a faster route found while you are driving, TomTom Traffic can replan your journey to use the faster
route. Select from the following options:
 Always take the fastest route - the fastest route will always be chosen for you.
 Ask me so I can choose - you will be asked if you want to take the faster route. You can
manually select the faster route or you can select the route by steering towards it.
 Don't ask me - your device will not find faster routes for you.
Always plan this type of route
The types of route you can choose from are as follows:
 Fastest route - the route which takes the least time.
 Shortest route - the shortest distance between the locations you set. This may not be the
quickest route, especially if the shortest route is through a town or city.
 Most eco-friendly route - the most fuel-efficient route for your journey.
 Winding route - the route with the most turns.
Note: Winding route is not available on all TomTom navigation devices or apps.
 Avoid motorways - this type of route avoids all motorways.
 Walking route - a route designed for making the journey on foot.
 Bicycle route - a route designed for making the journey on a bicycle.
Avoid on every route
You can choose to avoid ferries and car shuttle trains, toll roads, carpool lanes, and unpaved roads.
Set how your GO PROFESSIONAL should manage each of these road features when the device
calculates a route.
Carpool lanes are sometimes known as High Occupancy Vehicle Lanes (HOV) and are not present in
every country. To travel on these lanes, you may need to have more than one person in the car, for
example, or the car may need to use environmentally-friendly fuel.
