HI,

Is it possible to input your own route to a destination, rather than take the own that tt3 suggest's.
It's just that if we leave our home for say Fleetwood, tt3 suggest's that we go via M6-M55, and not been a great lover of motorways, we prefere the scenic route, any advise please.

You can use the itinerary feature to do this. Add one or more drive-by locations before your final destination to get TomTom to go the way you want.

Or if you generally want to avoid motorways, say, then try adjusting the preferred speeds for each road type (in Properties - Advanced) to influence which roads TomTom chooses for each route.

Or if there's one particular place you don't want to be routed through, mark that as an area to avoid (in Map view, select Tools - Avoid area).

One of those should do it!

... or for a more random experience, you could simply let it plot the route using the motorway, then in Navigator view tap the screen and select Alternative Routes - Alternative. TomTom will then make up a route using different roads where it can.

Thanks Barry,

I'll give it a go and see what happens.
