11.3 Using 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.
