I have been trying without success to get my Tom Tom One Europe to do itinerary planning.

Here's what I am doing:

Screen: Main Menu 2 of 3
Itinerary Planning Icon
Enter a couple of waypoints and a destination
Hit the options button

Itinerary screen
Start Navigation
Fastest Route: Done

Tom Tom Calculates

However. Browse the map and it avoids the waypoints and goes straight to the destination.

What am I doing wrong?

It depends on how you set the Waypoints.

It may seem strange but if you use Address | City Centre, it won't necessarily go via the centre. Not even if it is a Village.

The best way is to use Point on Map, or Address | Postcode (or Street) or a POI.

Also be careful when using dual carriageways. Getting it on the wrong side can lead to unpredictable routing.

Are you sure that only the last item is marked as the destination (checkered flag)?

Thanks for the replies.

I did have only one destination.

I have tried using the points on the map and it does work with somewhat unpredictable results.

It does seem stupid that you cannot just enter the city or town.

Sorry I ever sold my Garmin Quest

Without making excuses for how the TT "goes vaguely close" to waypoints, if you entered just a city or town, how do you know that the bit of town it took you to is where you want to go?

If I wanted to go to Scotland via Birmingham, all I would mean is I wanted to go via the M1/M6, not that I wanted to go to the Bullring shopping centre (if it's still there!)
