|
|
For some strange reason I can't seem to use TT5 without it being in Planned route mode. I mean I know the way to my home and various other places without having to plot a route and so use TT5 for the POI alerts ect. But I do not know how to do this, each time I have to plan a route to get TT5 on the go.
Any ideas ?? |

after you are done with routing, tap on "Clear Route" to switch to cruising mode. _________________ Lutz

The POI alert can be set to either alert you when a POI is nearby or alert you when the POI is nearby on your route. If you have set them to alert you when on route they will only alert when a route is planned.
The traffic feature also only automatically updates when you are on a planned route. |

Please excuse my ignorance but how do you get this "clear route" option? I cannot find it when scrolling through any of the menus.
Thanks
Doug

Hi Doug,
When in the menu on page 2 of 3 there is in the centre two items clear route and view route, both of these items are only highlighted and can be used when a route is planed.
Cheers Mike |
