Hi,

In TomTom 3, whenever I navigate from my home address, it always takes me down an unmade road. How do I tell TomTom not to include this particular road in any routes it comes up with?

Also, is there a way of telling it to favour motorways if I'm in a hurry, or to favour A roads if I'm not?

In map view, go to the area you want to avoid
then tap on Tools...Avoid area
then pull the rectangle so that only the area you want to avoid is covered
then tap OK

TomTom has no generic "Avoid Highways" setting. It's doing this based on the current route. You can select to avoid highways by number. It's not sticky, though.

if you adjust the speed settings for motorways to 5mph it will avoid them.
