|
|
Hi, I am using an Ipaq 5450 with tomtom bluetooth receiver, and TT3 software.
TT3 seems to take me what it considers the quickest route, but I can't find anywhere in the software that I can specify I want to go the most direct route.
Anyone any ideas?
Having said that, I'm a real newbie to Satnav, using it to navigate me to weddings (I'm a photographer) and now I've got it, I feel invincible!! I can go anywhere!!!!
Any ideas on this would be great though.
Thanks |

in map mode, tap on the A > B icon, then tap on the "Type" tab - there you can switch between shortest and quickest route.
Be aware of the Methuselah Bug though. As soon as you do a reroute TomTom will fall back to "quickest" mode. No way around that (apart from following the route religiously) _________________ Lutz

This only works in the map mode though. I prefer to use the navigator and it always chooses the fastest route. Any other ideas? |

nope. Live with it or write to TomTom. They haven't listened to thousands of others, but maybe they will listen to you. _________________ Lutz

I thought reroute only ever functioned when in Navigator mode? If I follow a route in Map Mode then venture off the route it doesn't recalc. _________________ Darren Griffin |

If you use the a-b icon in map mod, it will transfer the route to navigator if you hit the navigator button, mine does not update then, just follow it and it should work. |
