Route Planning in Europe

Hi there,

Last year I drove to Dax in the South of France in my Dax Rush kit car, I used my TOM TOM G700 to navigate, planning the route on the way, I used 'way points' to force the TT to take me on the roads that I wanted to drive on.
The trip was fantastic and the TT meant that I didn't have to stop every 5 mins to check the map, but planning the route on the small screen was time consuming and difficult.

This year I'm driving to Spain, I will meet my wife there (she will fly down) and we will tour round Northern Sapin.
I want to plan the route before I go, I have used the TT Home site so I know you can plan this way, but what I want to do, is plan the route on a full size screen and then download to the TT.

So the questions are:

What is the best software to use to plan the route I want, down through France and then onto Spain?

Once I've planned the route can I convert it to work on the TT.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Cheers
Ben

Search for previous posts on "Tyre", which allows you to use Google Earth or Google maps to create the route and then convert it to a TT itinerary file.

Yip Andys right, I use Google aslo to plan a journey for my day off and put in places i would like to go and would rate this feature very highly. Even when working if i am going to mobile jobs that day i can work it out the night before and then in the morning i am ready to go.
