The new calculated route is shown in the route summary screen, from which you can start navigating or exploring the calculated alternative.
Avoid roadblock
Calculates a new route using the same departure and destination as the current route. The roads for the next 2000 meter of the current route are not used

The new calculated route is shown in the route summary screen, from which you can start navigating or exploring the calculated alternative.
Recalculate original
If you are not happy with any of the alternatives routes TomTom MOBILE will recalculate the original fastest route.
