How to view a planned route When you have planned a route, TomTom Navigator provides a table with detailed instructions. You can view this list by selecting the "Instructions" view from the pull-down view-switching menu (1) in the top-left corner. You can also divide the screen between this list and the map by selecting "Split View" in the view selector (4). The "Instructions" view allows you to review a planned route and to plan ahead. Each individual instruction provides additional information: Tap on an instruction - in the "Instructions" view, this pops up full-screen details about the instruction, including a small map; in the "Split View", tapping on an instruction highlights it, and causes the cursor on the map to move to the location involved in the instruction. q q Tap and hold an instruction - pops up an action list with similar options as when tapping and holding a location on the map. At the very least, it allows you to show the specific location of the instruction on the screen. From there (with another tap and hold) you can get access to all other options. 3. The Favourites view TomTom Navigator allows you to maintain a list of up to 20 "favourite" locations. For example, you can start navigating to a favourite location with only a few taps of your finger. The very first favourite is automatically assigned the "Home" location (you may of course assign it to any other location such as your office).
