"Thanks all people at TomTom for this unbelievable piece of Software. I'll never leave home again without it!" TomTom RoutePlanner is the award winning road map and route planning application for hand held computers. It combines the latest and most accurate road information with a fast and easy to use interface. From cross-continental voyages to local trips, TomTom RoutePlanner has the knowledge and the design to support you at every turn.

TomTom RoutePlanner

TomTom RoutePlanner can act as an electronic map in the same was as the old fashioned paper maps, but, unlike paper maps, Route Planner can plan your route for you. Simply tell TomTom RoutePlanner where you are either by tapping on the map in the appropriate place or by entering the name of the city or location you are in. Then, in the same way, tell TomTom RoutePlanner where you want to go. If you want to go via any places of interest you can specify these as well. You can even tell TomTom RoutePlanner where you don't want to go and let it work around these areas. Once the route is calculated you are ready to set off. It's as easy as that.

Planning an alternative route.

You can display any section of the road map at any scale, and at any level of detail. There are various ways of displaying location names, routes, legends, locators and scales. Similarly, you can display driving instructions in several "natural language" formats and at different levels of detail. In the "split view" you can even follow your route on the map while having the driving instructions visible as well.

The horizontal split view.

Additionally TomTom RoutePlanner will allow you to add locations that are of interest to you or you can download them from our already extensive free archive or straight from the TomTom RoutePlanner CD.
Although TomTom RoutePlanner is a powerful application on its own, attach a compatible GPS satellite receiver and your position on the map will be updated as you move. You need never get lost again because TomTom RoutePlanner will know where you are and where you want to go.

| Independent Reviews

- "TomTom RoutePlanner comporte les cartes de toute l'Europe, avec plusieurs niveaux de détail (totalité des routes ou grands axes seulement). Les cartes sont faciles à charger (petits fichiers *.sis, ou grâce au logiciel d'installation général), et se désinstallent individuellement."
  - Agi Lange, ComputerChannel
- "One of the best things about Psion's Series 5 is the RoutePlanner from TomTom. I find it invaluable, with no direct equivalent on any PDA platform."
  - Paul Lynch, PC Pro
- "5 stars for a really professional program; 5 Fox Gods for a thoroughly Geofox friendly program; 5 smileys for a real killer app."
  - Andy Hayes, Foxpop
- "It arrives on a CD-ROM with enough maps to cover the whole of Europe and then some. If you need to route-plan on the road, this application is justification enough for buying a Psion 5."
  - Andy Hayes, Personal Computer World
- "Mobile Computing First Class Award 1998: one of the best travel packages we evaluated."
  - Mobile Computing
- "It is, in my opinion, the most comprehensive and best of the route planners available to buy for the Psion Series 5. It displays a very comprehensive plan of how to get from A to B and the road maps are very up to date. All in all, an excellent product."
  - Andy Nott, Psionology
- "Once again, TomTom have excelled at bringing the paying customer a product that delivers the goods. Should be purchased immediately."
  - Adrian Harper, PDA Online
- "The other night, after negotiating a badly marked detour, I got completely lost in the Czech countryside. It was about 2 o'clock in the morning and on top of it all, it was pouring with rain.
  Under "normal" circumstances, this would now have been the time to drive to the next village, get somebody out of bed and ask for directions... (My knowledge of the Czech language is nothing to brag about either.) Anyhow, this wasn't a "normal" situation anymore! Just a few days before I had bought the TomTom RoutePlanner, and if there ever was a time to put it through it's test, this time had come.
  It is difficult to describe my relief and pleasure. Well, through the night and the rain a connection between my Psion and some faraway satellites came to be, a very peculiar feeling, I wasn't alone anymore. I suddenly not only knew where I was, but also where I had to go! As a matter of fact, I hadn't thought it possible that getting lost under such appalling circumstances could be such fun.
  My Psion (I couldn't work without it) and this programme was one of the best investments I ever made. I am a freelance TV cameraman and drive different (hired) cars all the time. It now only takes me minutes to install "my system" into any car. The other day I drove through the outskirts of Paris. A nightmare at the best of times. But this was the first time I didn't lose my way..."
  - W.M. Bauer
