Planning a route in advance
You can use your ONE/XL/XXL to plan a route in advance, selecting your start-
ing point and your destination.
Here are some more reasons to plan a route in advance:
• Find out how long a journey is going to take before you start.
You can also compare journey times for the same route at different times of
the day or on different days of the week. Your TomTom ONE/XL/XXL uses
IQ Routes when planning a route. IQ Routes calculates routes based on the
real average speeds measured on roads.
• Study the route of a journey you are planning.
• Check a route for someone who is coming to visit you and then explain the
route to them in detail.
