54 Using suggested destinations What are suggested destinations? Your TomTom Trucker can learn your daily driving habits to saved favourite Places and it can also suggest destinations when you start the device from sleep mode, for example, when driving to Work in the morning. Getting ready for suggested destinations Before you get your first suggested destination, your device needs some time to learn about your habits. The more regularly you drive with your TomTom Trucker, the faster you will get suggestions and the more accurate the suggested destinations will be. To receive suggested destinations, you need to do the following: In Settings > System > Your information and privacy, switch on Keep journey history on this device for optional features. Make sure no route is planned. If your device has voice control, switch voice control ON. Make sure that your volume is not muted and is set higher than 20%. Do some driving for a few days, planning routes to your favourite My Places destinations. Using suggested destinations Important: If your device has voice control, you can say Yes or No or select the Yes or No button. If your device doesnt have voice control, select the Yes or No button. If your device prompts Going to X?, where X is a destination, you have 12 seconds to respond yes or no. Tip: If you dont respond yes or no, your Trucker assumes a yes. If you respond yes, your device plans a route to your destination. If you respond no, you can select from a list of saved Places and recent destinations instead. Alternatively, if your device prompts Where do you want to go?, you can choose immediately from a list of saved Places and recent destinations. Switching suggested destinations on or off You can turn suggested destinations on or off at any time. See Route planning and Voice Control (if your device has voice control) for information on how to switch this feature on or off.
