I think there may be some confusion about the configuration.
I think this is what you are talking about:
When a faster route is available
If a faster route found while you are driving, TomTom Traffic can replan your journey to use the faster route. Select from the following options:
- Always take the fastest route - the fastest route will always be chosen for you.
- Ask me so I can choose - you will be asked if you want to take the faster route. You can manually select the faster route or you can select the route by steering towards it.
- Don't ask me - your device will not find faster routes for you.
That option causes the device to ask you whether you are interested in a faster route if it finds one while you are driving.
Looking at what kind of route you wish to plan doesn't have an 'ask me every time' sort of option:
Always plan this type of route
The types of route you can choose from are as follows:
- Fastest route - the route which takes the least time.
- Shortest route - the shortest distance between the locations you set. This may not be the quickest route, especially if the shortest route is through a town or city.
- Most eco-friendly route - the most fuel-efficient route for your journey.
- Winding route - the route with the most turns. Note: Winding route is not available on all TomTom navigation devices or apps.
- Avoid motorways - this type of route avoids all motorways.
- Walking route - a route designed for making the journey on foot.
- Bicycle route - a route designed for making the journey on a bicycle.
Let us know if your device looks different from this.
