You can also use your RIDER to plan journeys in advance by selecting both 

your starting point and your destination. You could, for example, do the 

following:
• Find out how long a journey is going to take before you start.
• Check the route of a journey you are planning.
• Check a route for someone who is coming to visit you, so that you can 

explain the route to them.

To plan a route in advance, follow these steps:
1. Tap the screen to bring up the main menu.
2. Tap the arrow button to move to the next menu screen and tap Prepare 

route.

3. Select the starting point for your journey in the same way that you would 

select your destination.

4. Set the destination for your journey.
5. Choose the type of route that should be planned. 

• Fastest route - the route which takes the least time.
• Shortest route - the shortest distance between the locations you set. This 

may not be the quickest route, especially if the shortest route is through 

a town or city.

• Avoid motorways - a route which avoids motorways.
• Walking route - a route designed for making the journey on foot.
• Bicycle route - a route designed for making the journey on a bicycle.

• Limited speed - a route for a vehicle which can only be driven at a limited 

speed. You have to specify the maximum speed.

6. Your TomTom RIDER plans the route between the two locations you 

selected.

You can access these options for the route you last planned by tapping View 

route in the Main Menu or the Details button on the route summary screen.

You can then select from the following options:

Tap this button for a list of all the turn instructions on the route.

This is very useful if you need to explain a route to someone else.

Tap this button to see each turn in the journey. Tap the right and left arrows 

to move forwards and backwards through the journey.

Tap the screen to turn off the 3D display and view the map from above.
