    							Finding alternative routes5.

    Finding alternative routesOnce you have planned a route, you may want to change something about the 
    route, without changing your destination.
    Why change the route?
    Maybe for one of these reasons:
    • You can see a roadblock or a line of traffic ahead.
    • You want to travel via a particular location, to pick someone up, stop for 
    lunch or fill up with gas.
    • You want to avoid a difficult intersection or a road you don’t like.
    Find alterna-
    tive...
    Ta p  Find alternative... in the Main Menu to change the route that is 
    currently planned.
    Then tap one of the options below.
    Calculate 
    alternative
    Tap this button to calculate an alternative to the route already planned.
    Your XL will look for another route from your current location to your 
    destination.
    If you decide you would prefer to use the original route after all, tap 
    Recalculate original.
    Why would I need to do this?
    Apart from the roads near your position and near your destination, the new 
    route will use totally different roads to reach your destination. This is an 
    easy way of calculating a totally different route. 
    Avoid 
    roadblock
    Tap this button if you can see a roadblock or a line of traffic ahead. You then 
    have to choose how much of the route ahead you want to avoid.
    Choose from the different options: 100m, 500m, 2000m, 5000m. Your XL 
    will recalculate your route avoiding the section of the route for the distance 
    you selected.
    Don’t forget that once a new route is calculated, you may have to turn off 
    the road you are on very soon.
    If the roadblock suddenly clears, tap Recalculate original to return to your 
    original route. 
    						
    							12 Travel via...
    Tap this button to change your route so that it passes a particular location, 
    perhaps to pick someone up on the way.
    You choose the location you want to pass in the same way as you choose a 
    destination. So you can select from all the same options: for example, 
    Address, Favorite, Point of Interest and Point on map.
    Your XL will calculate a new route to your destination that passes the 
    location you chose. Unlike your final destination, your XL 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 traveling 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.
    Minimize 
    delays
    Tap this button to recalculate your route so that it avoids traffic problems as 
    much as possible. Your XL will check if there are any traffic problems on 
    your route and work out the best route to avoid the problems.
    Note: This button is only available with TomTom Traffic enabled.

    What are Favorites?
    Favorites are places that you often visit. You can create Favorites so that you 
    don’t have to enter the address every time you want to navigate there.
    They don’t have to be places you especially like, just useful addresses.
    How can I create a Favorite?
    From the Main Menu, tap Add Favorite. 
    Note: The button Add Favorite may not be shown on the first page of the Main 
    Menu. Tap the arrow to open other pages in the Main Menu. 
    You can then select the location of the Favorite from the list below.
    Give your Favorite a name that is easy to remember. Your XL will always 
    suggest a name, usually the address of the Favorite. To enter the name, just 
    start typing. You don’t have to delete the suggested name. 
    Home
