You can use your XL to plan a route in advance, selecting your starting 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 XL 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.

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. Choose when you will make the journey you are planning. There are three 

options:

• Now

• Specific date and time - you will be asked to enter the date and time.
• No specific date and time

If you select either Now or Specific date and time, your XL uses IQ Routes 

to work out the best possible route at that time, using the real average 

speeds measured on roads. In this way you can compare how long a 

journey takes at different times of day, or on different days of the week.

7. Your TomTom XL plans the route between the two locations you selected.

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

Details button on the route summary screen.
