TomTom

Entered Locations - These locations have been entered into the TomTom, either as a Home, a Favorite, a Destination or a Point of Interest. They appear at the top of the list when a user chooses to navigate to a new address.

Favorites - It is possible for a user to enter a number of addresses or places into their TomTom and save them as a Favorite. It is then possible for a user to quickly access these places to navigate to them.

Home Locations - The Home Location is the address or place that has been entered by a user into the TomTom as the location of their home.

Last GPS Fix - The TomTom keeps track of where it is. It may be along a journey if one is in progress or just where the device was when it was last turned on.

Last Journey - TomTom devices can save the details of the last journey. The last journey Origin is the actual position of the TomTom unit. It does not always mean that this is the start of the journey. If the user takes a wrong turn and the TomTom has to recalculate the route it places this point as the Origin of the last journey. It can be said that the TomTom device has physically been at this location.

Navigated By - How the user selected the location is stored in the TomTom.  When a user selects to navigate to a destination they can do so by selecting to navigate to:

Orphaned Locations - Orphaned Locations are those addresses found in the deleted space that are no longer part of a file or the header of the file has been overwritten. Because they are no longer part of a file all of the information may not be available. It may not be possible to say what type of entry they are, only that they are present upon the device.

Recent Destinations - Recent Destinations are places that the user of the TomTom has selected to navigate to. It does not mean that they have been there, only that the address has been entered.
