Making changes to your route
After you plan a route, you may want to change the route or even the destination. There are various
ways to change your route without the need to completely replan the entire journey.
To change the current route, tap
Change route
in the Main menu:
Change route
Tap this button to change the current route.
This button is only shown while there is a planned route on your TomTom
Connect.
Change route menu
To change the current route or your destination, tap one of the following buttons:
Calculate alterna-
tive
Tap this button to find an alternative to the current route.
This button is only shown while there is a planned route on your TomTom
Connect.
This is a simple way to search for a different route to your current desti-
nation.
Your TomTom Connect calculates a new route from your current location,
to reach your destination using completely different roads.
The new route is shown next to the original route so that you can select
the route you want to use.
Avoid roadblock
Tap this button while driving on a planned route, to avoid a roadblock or
traffic congestion on the road ahead.
Your TomTom Connect will suggest a new route which avoids the roads on
your current route for the selected distance.
If the roadblock or traffic congestion suddenly clears, tap
Recalculate
route
to replan your original route.
Important
: Be aware that when a new route is calculated, you might im-
mediately be asked to turn off the current road.
Minimise delays
Tap this button to avoid traffic delays on a planned route.
It is not always possible to avoid all traffic delays. Though your device
continuously checks for delays on your route, you can tap this button to
manually start a check. Your device then calculates the best route to
avoid all or most of the delays.
Note
: This button is only shown if your device has either a traffic sub-
scription or an RDS-TMC Receiver. Traffic information is not available in
all countries or regions. For more information about TomTom traffic
