Can I create a destination on the map without using an address, place name, or POI?

JonBusch

I'm a new user of TomTom and would like to input a destination using the map screen and cursor. The place I'd like to go has no address, but is on a State Route that appears on the GPS map. It is a lake that is named, but not in the TomTom POI so I can't input that way. I can get to the "center" of the nearby town, but then can't move the destination point to where I want to go that is about 20 miles out of town.
I know I can create my destination as my "Home", save and rename it, and then route that way, but it seems like an incredibly stupid way of doing it. Can't I just tap the screen and say "go here"?
Thanks for any help you can provide,
Jon

Zoom into the place you want to go to, then touch the actual place and hold your finger there then a pop-up menu shows the nearest address. To plan a route to this destination, select Drive.

See page 61/61 of the manual for full instructions http://download.tomtom.com/open/manuals/gox20x/refman/TomTom-GO-EU-RG-en-gb.pdf

Hi
@JonBusch

Using the 2D North-up overview Map... Zoom into the required location
Long Tap (Tap and hold for +1 second)... A quick menu opens --> Tap the Blue (Drive) Icon or Tap the 3Dot icon to choose other options
Note... A 'Quick Tap' and 'Long Tap' of the screen or a planned route will give different menu options

The Tomtom device will show your chosen location on the map but if that location is Off-Road i.e... If it's NOT displayed on the Tomtom Map as a Small-Track/Lane/Road the device will only plan a route to the nearest Road access point

For example... Try a Long Tap in the middle of a large Field --> Tap the Blue (Drive) Icon
The Device will plan a route to the nearest road access point... And a dotted line to the actual destination

If you have the lat/long of your destination you can also enter that in the search screen of the satnav or in mydrive and drive to it.
