TomTom Blue Me Manual

							31 Travel via...
Tap this button to change your route so that it passes a particular 
location, perhaps to pick someone up on the way. When you do this, 
a marker is shown on the map for the location you choose to travel 
via.
You choose the location you want to pass in the same way as you 
choose a destination. This means you can select from all the same 
options that are offered when you choose a destination, for example, 
Address, Favourite, Point of Interest and Point on map.
Your Blue&Me-TomTom will calculate a new route to your destination 
that passes the location you chose. Unlike your final destination, 
your Blue&Me-TomTom does not inform you when you pass by this 
location.
Using this button, you can only travel via one location. If you want to 
pass more than one, use an Itinerary.
Recalculate 
original
Tap this button to return to the original route without deviations to 
avoid roadblocks or travelling via particular locations.
Avoid part of 
route
Tap this button to avoid a part of the route. Use this button if you see 
that your route includes a road or junction you don’t like, or which is 
well-known for traffic problems.
You then choose the road you want to avoid from a list of the roads 
on your route.

Share™With TomTom Map Share, you can correct errors on your map and share those correc-
tions with other people in the TomTom Map Share community, as well as receiving cor-
rections made by others.
Note: TomTom Map Share is not available in all regions. For more information, go to tom-
tom.com/mapshare.
Map corrections
There are two types of map correction:
• Corrections that are immediately shown on the map. These include, changing the traffic 
flow of a street, blocking or renaming a street and adding or editing POIs.
This type of change is immediately shown on your own map. You can hide these cor-
rections at any time in the Map Share preferences menu.
• Corrections that are reported to TomTom but not shown immediately on your map. 
These include, missing streets, errors in motorway entrances and exits and missing 
roundabouts.
This type of correction is investigated by TomTom and once verified, is included in the 
next map release. These corrections are therefore not shared with the Map Share commu-
nity.

Making a map correction
Important: For safety reasons, you should only mark a location when you are driving. Do 
not enter the full details of an error while you are driving.
Receiving the latest map updates
When you connect your Blue&Me-TomTom to your computer, TomTom HOME automat-
ically downloads any available map corrections and sends any changes you have made, 
to the Map Share community.
There are several types of corrections which can be set in the Correction preferences 
menu.
Marking a map error while on the move
Important: For safety reasons, you should only mark a location when you are driving. Do 
not enter the full details of an error while you are driving.
If you notice an item on your map that needs attention, you can mark the location using 
the Report button and then enter the details when you are no longer driving.
To show the Report button in the Driving View or in the quick menu, do the following:
1. Tap Map corrections in the Main Menu.
2. Tap Correction preferences.
3. Tap Done and then tap Done again.

The Report button is shown on the left-hand side of the Driving View. After you mark a 
location, you can add more information about the change when you open the Map cor-
rections menu.
For example, you are driving to a friends house and you notice that the name of the street 
you are on is different from the one on your map. To report the change, tap the Report 
button and your Blue&Me-TomTom will save your current location. You can then send the 
correction to TomTom Map Share when you have finished your journey.
