5. Choose the type of route that should be planned.

• 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.

• Avoid Highways - a route which avoids highways.

• Walking Route - a route designed for making the trip on foot.

• Bicycle Route - a route designed for making the trip on a bicycle.

6. If IQ Routes is supported by your map, you can choose when you will make the journey

you are planning. You can set the date and time in 5 minute intervals.

The TomTom app uses IQ Routes to work out the best possible route at that time, using

the real average speeds measured on roads. In this way you can compare how long a

trip takes at different times of day, or on different days of the week.

7. The TomTom app plans the route between the two locations you selected.
