Itinerary planning
What is an Itinerary?
An Itinerary is a plan for a journey with more stops than just your final destination.
An Itinerary is made up of the following items:
• Destinations - the end of a particular journey, the place where you want to stop.
• Waypoints - points on your journey that you want to pass.
Here’s an example of an Itinerary:
Destinations are shown with this symbol.
Waypoints are shown with this symbol.
When would I use an Itinerary?
You could use an Itinerary for these kinds of trips:
• A driving holiday through a country with lots of stops.
• A two day car journey with an overnight stop.
• A short drive which passes particular Points of Interest.
In all these examples you could tap Navigate to... for each place. However, if you use an Itinerary, you can save time by programming everything in advance.

Creating an Itinerary
Itinerary planning
1. Tap the screen to bring up the Main Menu.
2. Tap Itinerary planning.
The Itinerary planning screen opens. At first, there are no items on the Itinerary.
3. Tap Add and select a location.
Tip
You can add items to your Itinerary in any order and organise them into the
Itinerary later.
Following an Itinerary
When you use an Itinerary to navigate, the route will be calculated to the first destination on the Itinerary. Your TomTom NAVIGATOR calculates the remaining distance and time to the first destination and not for the whole Itinerary.
As soon as you start to use an Itinerary, the route is calculated from your current position. You do not need to set a departure point.
When you have passed a waypoint or reached a destination, it is marked as visited.
Waypoints are shown on the map but your NAVIGATOR will not warn you when you are approaching a waypoint, or tell you when you reach the waypoint.
