Important: A map is a large file that can take a long time to download. To prevent high data
charges we advise you to download a map using a Wi-Fi connection. Once downloading has started,
you must download the complete map before you can use the VIO.
You can pause a map download at any time. If Wi-Fi connection is lost, the download automatically
pauses to prevent high data charges. You must keep the VIO open while paused or you will lose the
part of the map you have already downloaded. You can use other apps while paused.
If Wi-Fi connection is lost, you can choose to continue downloading using your mobile network
connection.
When the download is complete, select OK to use the map. The map view is displayed with the
map.
Deleting a map
To delete a map, select Edit List. Select the map you want to delete, then select Delete.
Route Planning
Select Settings in the Main Menu, then select Route Planning.
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
Ask me so I can choose
Don't ask me
Always plan this type of route
The types of route you can choose from are as follows:
Fastest route - the fastest route to your destination. Your route is constantly checked taking
into account the traffic conditions.
Shortest route - the shortest route to your destination. This may not be the fastest route,
especially if the route is through a town or city.
Most eco-friendly route - the most fuel-efficient route.
Avoid motorways - this type of route avoids all motorways. (iOS only.)
Walking route - this type of route is optimised for walking. The route uses walking speed to
calculate the estimated time of arrival and avoids or selects specific route features. For exam-
ple, motorways are excluded, you can enter one-way streets from both directions, and the
route includes pedestrian zones.
Bicycle route - this type of route is optimised for bicycles. The route uses cycling speed to
calculate the estimated time of arrival and avoids or selects specific route features. For exam-
ple, motorways are excluded.
Avoid on every route
You can choose to avoid the following features on your route:
Motorways. (Android only.)
Tunnels.
Ferries and car shuttle trains.
Toll roads.
