11.3Using TomTom NAVIGATOR

TomTom NAVIGATOR is a GPS navigation software that provides clear routing directions and vocal instructions to guide you in your journey, based on the destination address you specified, a contact you selected, a point of interest, etc. TomTom NAVIGATOR gives you several routes to select from when you plan your journey in advance. Places that you frequently go to can be added as favorites.

Before you start on a journey, use the Map Browser to familiarize yourself first with the route. Advanced planning is also one of the software’s cool features, which allows you to find out first which one is the fastest or shortest route for a trip. Other features include alternative route calculation, itinerary planning, and more.
