    Its been awhile since I fired up my TomTom but from memory you can pre view the route and see where it takes you and avoid certain roads etc.

    Also if you just turn around (im guessing not to easy when you got a caravan behind) and head another route it will re-plan the route and pickup your current position.

    It ok to pre view the route but if you don’t know the roads you don’t know how narrow the are till you get there
