TomTom Route Planner (Beta)

TomTom Route Planner (Beta)


TomTom Route Planner has some good interactive options, like interactive sidebar and when to leave option, real-time alerts also can be calculated.

There are simple options to change the language without the map and route needing to be refreshed.

TomTom owners can also send to TomTom service with routes and have it stored ready for the journey ahead.


Map does not refresh (a good thing) when a user changes the language - sidebar and marginal do change.

The Service is still in Beta and registration is still required. Hopefully this will be released for public use next year so all can benefit from the TomTom Route Planner.

Thanks to the smart user interface, it is easy to make improvements, such as blocked or unblocked streets, reversed one way traffic or new street names, which will instantly take effect."
