Taking the fastest route
Your TomTom device regularly looks for a faster route to your destination. If the traffic situation
changes and a faster route is found, your device offers to replan your trip so you can use the
faster route.
You can also set your device to automatically replan your trip whenever a faster route is found. To
apply this setting, tap Traffic settings in the Traffic menu.
To manually find and replan the fastest route to your destination, do the following:
1. Tap the traffic sidebar.
Tip: If you find that tapping the sidebar opens the Main menu instead of the traffic menu, try
tapping the sidebar with your finger resting on the edge of the screen.
A summary of traffic on your route is shown.
2. Tap Options.
3. Tap Minimize delays.
Your device searches for the fastest route to your destination.
The new route may include traffic delays. You can replan the route to avoid all traffic delays,
but a route which avoids all delays will usually take longer than the fastest route.
4. Tap Done.
Minimizing delays
You can use TomTom Traffic to minimize the impact of traffic delays on your route. To minimize
delays automatically, do the following:
1. Tap Services in the Main Menu.
2. Tap Traffic.
3. Tap Traffic settings.
4. Choose between always taking the faster route automatically, being asked or never changing
your route.
5. Tap Next and then Done.
6. Tap Minimize delays.
Your device plans the quickest route to your destination. The new route may include traffic
delays and may remain the same as the original route.
You can re-plan the route to avoid all delays, but this route is unlikely to be the quickest possi-
ble route.
7. Tap Done.
Making commuting to work easier
The Home to work and Work to home buttons in the Show home-work traffic menu let you check
your route to and from work with one tap of a button.
When you use either of these buttons, your device plans a route between your home and work
locations and checks the route for possible delays.
