My TomTom doesn't allow for a destination to be added (by my passenger) while I'm driving.

I own a TomTom Via 1515M

When I'm on the road driving my wife isn't able to enter new destinations while I'm driving.
Is there a way to change that so my wife will be able to enter new destination(s) while on the road?

Thank you for your response,

Hi
@Miflori

Its a Safety Feature if you have "Show essential menu buttons while driving" turned "ON" and a route already planned on the device the device will only show the essential buttons...This also means you won't be able to change/edit the route while driving

The reason why it seems random is because sometimes when you turn on the device you may still have a route planned, and the Show essential menu buttons while driving "Safety Feature" kicks in, if you want to keep the "Safety Feature" just make a point of clearing any active routes before starting a new route

As you say If you want all the planning menu buttons displayed all of the time
From the main menu
Tap (Setting)
Right cursor once
Tap (Safety Setting)
Un-tick "Show essential menu buttons while driving"
Tap Next
Tap Next
Tap Done
Tap Done

Note... I recall the built-in Tomtom devices in Mazda MX Range as having no option to turn off the "Safety Feature"
