recently used, but if the one you now want isn't

shown here then tap on the

button to bring up

a list of all categories that are available. As usual,

use the

and

buttons to scroll through the

list. Tap on the category you want, to display a list

of all Points Of Interest, neatly sorted according to

their distance from your cursor position. Tap on

the one you want, to display it in the centre of the

map screen.

Note that the cursor position is changed to the

location of the chosen Point Of Interest.

Finally, and perhaps most usefully of all, tap on

'Add as favourite'

to set the current cursor

position as a favourite location. This can be

invaluable for locations which don't have known

or recognised addresses, as you'll see in our real

world example in section 4.7.

4.5 Search functions

Tap on the

button to quickly scroll the map to

any specific location. You'll be familiar with the

options available.

Note that the 'Point Of Interest' option finds and

sorts items by distance from your current GPS

position, not by distance from the centre of the

map or from the cursor position. To find Points Of

Interest sorted by distance from the cursor position,

see 'Find nearby POI' in section 4.4.

In addition to centering the map on your chosen

location, TomTom GO also resets the zoom level to

show the location in appropriately high detail.

4.6 Map options

Tap on the 'Options' button to customise the level

of detail shown on TomTom GO's maps.

You'll notice that the top two preferences are

sliders. You can tap (or drag) your finger on these

to set a particular 'percentage' setting for the

display of 'Roads and streets' and 'Names' on the

current map.

Note that any changes to the detail level will be

over-ruled if the zoom level is changed, perhaps

by adjusting the zoom bar or by finding a specific

location. Hopefully, you'll find that TomTom GO's

choice of detail level for most maps is just right

and you won't often need to make temporary

adjustments.

You can turn on (or off) the display of 'Points Of

Interest' by tapping on its check box. Which

particular Points Of Interest are displayed depends

on which categories you have chosen to show.

You can make this choice now by tapping the

'POI' button. See also section 5.4.

Tap on the check box for 'Favourites' to turn on (or

off) the display of yellow stars

your favourite locations, on TomTom GO's maps.

Note that, unlike Points Of Interest, favourite

locations are never shown on the main 3D view

or its plan view alternative.

4.7 A real world example

TomTom GO's map browser can prove surprisingly

useful in day to day life. Let's look at an example

in the real world, using it to plan a journey before

setting out.

Say you are in the process of looking for a new

car. You look up your local Renault dealer on the

Internet and note the address, in the nearby large

town. The trading estate address looks enormous

on TomTom GO's map, but luckily you've been to

the estate once before and estimate the dealer's

position to within a few hundred metres with a tap

of your finger, to position the cursor

You now tap on the cursor button

on 'Add as favourite'

dealer's name.

You've got your partner and nine year old daughter

with you and they express an interest in going to

the cinema afterwards. You tap on the cursor button

again, choosing 'Find nearby POI

then on the

shown on the first category screen. You scroll

down to 'Cinema' in the main list of POI categories

and tap on it.
