I'm referring to the TOMTOM ONE CLASSIC. I would like to know if I ca
enter the route into the sat nav i want it to take me. for example if
want to go to leeds and i know exactly which route i want to take can
enter that into the sat nav and just use the sat nav to prompt/remin
me rather than the satnav find the route for me. please tell me step b
step how i would do this. thanks

Your equipment supports Itineraries, which are successions of locations
that you wish either to pass-by or to stop at. These are known as
waypoints and destinations respectively.

To do what you wish, and assuming the route you want is "sensible" and does
not include wild backtracking, the approach I would use is first to make
POIs for the start and the destination and see what route TomTom will
choose on it own. I would then add as many intermediate points as are
needed to "nudge" the route onto the one you wish to take.

If you need more clues, first play around with Itineraries and become
comfortable with the facility, then come back and ask any extra questions
from a position of more knowledge.

Thanks for your reply tony. Yes I understand how that would work t
nudge the route. But lets say the sat nav takes on me on road x but
tweak it to take me on road y once I'm road y does the satna
automaticall re-route me from there or would i have to re-enter th
address of my destination again. Please reply asap. Thanks

If you are using an Itinerary then adding a Waypoint between the start and
the Destination will not change the Destination. TomTom's software will
use its software algorithms to route from Start to Waypoint and them from
Waypoint to Destination. Just keep adding the minimum number of Waypoints
to keep nudging the route onto the track you want.

I should also mention that you must be careful with Waypoints placed on
dual carriageways such as Motorways, etc. You must zoom in and ensure that
your Waypoint is placed on the carriageway for your direction of travel,
else TomTom will loop you around and take you past the point you actually
entered instead of the one that you wanted. TomTom only does routing and
not mind-reading!
