I'm getting a new TomTom One 3rd Edition from my wife for Christmas, so I haven't opened it yet.
My existing GPS experience is with an **old** Garmin GPS (III Plus; one of the old prism-shaped units with the monochrome display). With that unit I would use Garmin's MapSource software on my PC to pre-plan my routes, then I'd import the routes and appropriate maps into the unit. It was time consuming and cumbersome, but it did give me complete control of what my route would be.
I've been doing some research on this forum and elsewhere to try to get up to speed in advance of opening the TomTom One, and I have some questions:
Thanks in advance,
Steve

I've been doing some research on this forum and elsewhere to try to get up to speed in advance of opening the TomTom One, and I have some questions:
- Can I use the software that comes with the One to pre-plan a specific route, if I don't like the route that the One chooses all by itself?
- I understand that I can modify the One's menus and add the Itinerary feature to the One. Will this allow me to select from multiple pre-planned and saved routes so that I can force the One to stick with an existing route that I know I like?
Thanks in advance,
Steve
