There's a couple of things you can (should be able to) do with GPS and GEarth.

Yes, you can write down the long/lat and then just plug that into GEarth's Fly To box.

And many GPS units will allow you to record a track and save it. You can then convert this file to a kml file and show your entire journey from start to finish. There's a few free online converters that will do the conversion if your Tom Tom software doesn't have that ability.

And remember, just because the GPS says you can go that way doesn't necessarily mean you can:
