Then your answer is no. Tom Tom does not do optimisation. It will navigate to waypoints in the order in which you input them. Other software will do this but not TT |

CoPilot offers optimisation of intermediate stops. That is, you still have to decide on the first and the last stop, but since these will often be your place of departure and 'home base', all the palces you need to visit will be optimised.
As to the efficiency of optimisation, that is another matter - and you may well have other factors (such as am and pm only visits) to take into account. I do not know if there is any software capable of handling such detail. |

TomTom and CoPilot are both navigation software, in the way that Windows and Linux are operating systems. They cannot be run together. Users have been known to have issues if they are even installed on the same PPC. |

copilot is another piece of navigation software that has desktop application as well though you will need a pocket pc or qindows smartphone to run it on have a look at www.alk.com/eu for more info also if you decide to go for it have a good read of the copilot forum before buying
in tomtom you could create an itnenrary and veiw then in browse map mode and then move them round manually _________________ currently using aponia truck navigation on windows phone. Good bye IOS don't let the door hit you on the way out .
