GPS reception
When you first start your TomTom EASE navigation device, the device may
need a few minutes to determine your GPS position and show your current
position on the map. In the future, your position will be found much faster,
usually within a few seconds.
To ensure good GPS reception, you should use your device outdoors. Large
objects such as tall buildings can sometimes interfere with rece ptio n.
Changeable covers
You can personalize your TomTom EASE from a selection of protective covers.

or may stop responding to your taps.

If this does not solve the problem, you can reset the device. To do this, do the
following.
1. Remove the Mount from the device by pressing the release button on the
Mount.
2. Pull the back cover off the device by holding either side of the cover and
pushing the device through the center of the cover.

Finding alternative routes7.
Finding alternative routes
Once you have planned a route, you may want to change something about the
route, without changing your destination.
Why change the route?
Maybe for one of these reasons:
• You can see a roadblock or a line of traffic ahead.
• You want to travel via a particular location, to pick someone up, stop for
lunch or fill up with gas.
• You want to avoid a difficult intersection or a road you don’t like.
Tap this button in the Main Menu to change the currently planned route.
Change route
Tap this button if you can see a roadblock or a line of traffic ahead. You then
have to choose how much of the route ahead you want to avoid.
Avoid
roadblock
Choose from the different options. Your EASE recalculates your route
avoiding the section of the route for the distance you selected.
Don’t forget that once a new route is calculated, you may have to turn off
the road you are on very soon.
Calculate
alternative
Recalculate
original
If the roadblock disappears while you are traveling, you can tap Recalculate
original to recalculate your original route. After you tap Calculate alterna-
tive, the button name changes to Recalculate original.
Tap this button to calculate an alternative to the route already planned. Your
EASE calculates another route, starting from your current location.
After you tap Calculate alternative, the button name changes to Recalcu-
late original. If you later decide you want to travel along the original route,
tap Recalculate original.
Apart from the roads near your position and near your destination, the new
route uses totally different roads to reach your destination. This is an easy
way of calculating a totally different route.
Tap this button to replan your original route.
This button is shown when you have changed your route by calculating an
alternative.

Travel via...
Plan route
Clear route
Tap this button to change your route so that it passes a particular location,
perhaps to pick someone up on the way. When you do this, a marker is
shown on the map for the location you choose to travel via.
You choose the location you want to pass in the same way as you choose a
destination. So you can select from all the same options, for example:
Address, Favorite, Point of Interest and Point on map.
Your EASE calculates a new route to your destination that passes the location you chose. Unlike your final destination, your EASE does not inform
you when you pass by this location.
Tap this button to plan a new route. When you plan a new route, the old
one is deleted.
Tap this button to delete the current route.
