Itinerary improvement requested

Hi

Like the addition of the Itinerary to ttn3, but it would appear you’re driving blind as all that’s displayed is the final destination on the nav screen after the summary screen, you don’t know for sure if you’re heading in the right direction or how each driveby is going to take - again the final destination eta is all that’s on display.

Could we have the next destination or flag number and eta on the nav screen display, leaving the summary screen to do just that! I’d feel more confident, seems were back to ttn2 were you just hope you’ve selected the right………..

Do you get the next destination ETA if you check the Multiple Destinations box in the advanced properties tab?

I do not use this function myself, I use itineraries and drivebys occasionally if I want to go a different route that I know TT will take me.

Hi Steve


No! Have the multiple destinations box ticked.

Had a bad first experience with Itinerary’s, where all the driveby’s got “cleared” leaving the final destination as target location, not what I’d planned……as it was new to me, I had to get off the motorway and try to figure out what was going on….gave up & reset then simply resorted back to the usual method of input for ttn.

Now I’m a bit more orientated, before setting off I’d check all driveby’s are enabled, have yet to use Itinerary’s again, but looks ok, shame with just a few more tweaks it could be more user friendly.

To use multiple destinations, you have to start the itinery list from scratch after ticking the multiple destinations box. Otherwise all the drive-bys will remain drive-bys. When you now plan an itinery you are given the choice of making a location a drive-by or destination.
Hope this helps.

Pete,

Also, withmultiple destinations, it tells you when you have reached each destination and I think the distance shown is to the next destination.
Give it another try, it is a useful addition to TT3.

Cheers guys,

Looks like what I wanted is there, I’ll give it another go……think the mistake I was making was naming the last port of call only as a destination, all others as drivebys.
