Waypoints optimisation

Navigator can optimise the order of waypoints and thus make the route shorter. The optimisation of waypoints is another very useful feature in Navigator. You can find it in Route info/Routing points/ ... option Optimise. Independently from the order in which you have entered the waypoints, Navigator optimises their sequence and thus makes the route shorter. Of course, this feature is handy not only for professional drivers but also for private users.

Setting up your vehicle

In Navigator you can use a predefined template for route calculation (Bicycle, Bus, Car, Motorcycle, Motorhome, Pedestrian, Truck) or create your own vehicle profile which exactly matches your own car and driving habits. Route and time of arrival will be then adjusted accordingly. Go to Settings / Vehicle Profiles.
Note: A custom truck, bus or camper profile (incl. size, height, width, axle load, etc.) will only work correctly together with TomTom Truck maps.
