How can I set warnings for POIs?
1. Tap the screen to bring up the main menu.
2. Tap Change preferences .
3. Tap  Manage POIs .
4. Tap  Warn when near POI .
5. Select the category of POI  you want to be warned about.
Select the category from the list or st art to type the name of the category 
and select it when it is shown in the list.
6. Set how close the POI should be when you receive a warning.
7. Choose the warning sound for the category of POI you selected.
Managing POIs
You can, for example, do the following:
• Create your own POI categories and add POIs to them.
• Set warnings when you get close to POIs.
Why would I want to create my own POIs?
A POI acts like a shortcut - once you ha ve saved a location as a POI you never 
have to type the address of that POI ag ain. But when you create a POI you can 
save more than just the location.
• Phone number - when you create a PO I, you can save a phone number with 
it.
• Categories - when you create a POI  you have to put it in a category.
For example, you could create a category of POIs called ‘Favourite restau-
rants’. With each POI, save their phone number so that you can call them to 
reserve a table.
Note : You can report missing POIs or edit existing POIs using Map Share and 
share your corrections with the Map Share community.
Warn when

Tap this button to receive a warning wh en you travel near to the location

Itinerary Planning
What is an Itinerary?
An Itinerary is a plan for a journey including more locations than your final des-
tination.
An Itinerary can include the following items:
• Destination - a location on your journey where you want to stop.
• Waypoint - a location on your journey where you want to travel through without stopping.
When would I use an Itinerary?
You could use an Itinerary for trips such as:
• A driving holiday through a country with lots of stops.
• A two day car journey with an overnight stop.
• A short drive which passes by Points of Interest.
In all these examples you could tap  Navigate to... for each place. However, if 
you use an Itinerary, you can save time  by planning everything in advance.
Creating an Itinerary
1. Tap the screen to bring up the Main Menu.
2. Tap Itinerary planning .
Destinations are shown using this symbol.

Following an Itinerary
When you use an Itinerary to navigate, th e route will be calculated to the first 
destination on the Itinerary. Your TomTom GO calculates the remaining dis-
tance and time to the first destination and not for the whole Itinerary.
As soon as you start to use an Itinerary, the route is calculated from your cur-
rent position. You do not need to set a departure point.
When you have passed a waypoint or reach ed a destination, it is marked as 
visited.

approaching a waypoint or when you arrive at a waypoint.
