maps and newbie

craftaddict

I only downloaded france, germany and benelux when I installed the app. As they take up a lot of space on my phone.

I have never used this app and was wondering if it works the same as my tomtom go. Can I just either preplan a route from one place to another to see the route and also just use it as it to take me somewhere ?

I am lost............ it seems to only allow one map at a time to be displace. Could some one please recommend a simple video tutorial showing me how it works.

Thanks,
Joanne

Hi @craftaddict

I have not got an Android Phone but have the App on an Android tablet.

If I want to look at a route yes it does work the same way as the current TT PND models.

If you Tap Search and identify a position you want to start a journey from then when you select the place in Search it appears on the Map with a menu next to it with Drive at the End. If you Tap the 3 vertical dots next to the word Drive a submenu appears and you can select Use as a Starting Point.

Having select the position as a starting point you can then Tap Menu then Tap Search and find and select the final destination. When you have selected it and Tapped Drive when it appears on the map you will now see the route form the Start to the finish.

If you were to now go through the search process again having created the route when you find a search result and accept it again if you tap the 3 dots you can select an option to add the position to the current route. This means you can create a route with a number of waypoints.

Finally if you were to Tap Menu then Tap Current Route you can select an option to save the route to the My Routes folder and then select it later when you want to use the route.

TomTom has not been able to read different maps since way back.

You will need one of the Europe maps that covers the countries you have listed.

The new TomTom NDS app lets you do that, even only parts of example Germany.

But for now it can only be downloaded in South America.
