Itinerary Planning (TT720)

I would be grateful if someone could explain how to intiate a journey using the itinerary planning menu - I have worked out how to put in way points and have saved the route - the problem is that when I initiate the route it takes me to the menu for Fastest Route, Shortest Route etc.etc. and when viewed on the map it is not as planned - obviously I am doing something wrong - your help would be appreciated - this one of the main reasons I got TT720

thanks

All TTs do the Itinerary the same.

After you exit the Itinerary Page you will always get the Fastest/Shortest/ etc/Route selection. It's how it routes between each Waypoint.

When you say 'it's not as planned', in what way?

Richard - This is the procedure I follow: Main Menu - Itinerary Planning - (this brings up the itinerary I planned) - Options - Start Navigation - Fastest Route - Done

The Itinerary then loads the map and the route path is shown on the map and I zoom in to see if this is the planned itininerary.

It would appear as though the TT720 just loads the fastest route and ignores the planned itinerary.

Thanks

How did you choose the waypoints? Did you use the "city centre" option? If you did the TT interprets the city centre as a quite large area - sometimes a few miles across!!

Try setting up the itinerary using "Browse Map". Zoom in on each point to make sure that your point is on a road (or it won't plan a route) and that the point is on the correct side of dual carriageways (or you will travel along in loops to pass through that point).

The other point is that if your Itinerary starts at a point that is not your Current Location, the Device will immediately do a recalculation based on where you are.

When the Final, Summary, Screen of the Itinerary Menu appears tap the Details Icon and Browse Map that way.

Thanks Guys - Just planned an itinerary route following your reponses and the TT720 functioned o'kay. Very impressed with this feature as I can have more control on the planning of journeys.

Thank you - Ted

Earlier Oldboy said: "The other point is that if your Itinerary starts at a point that is not your Current Location, the Device will immediately do a recalculation based on where you are. "

Is it possible to disable this. My old TT3 s/w on an IPAQ allowed you to plan (say) the second day of a multi-day trip down France using a nominated start point in an itinerary. It looks like with my new 720 it will plot from home all the way down each time.

Thanks,

Simon

(if anyone's interested I'll post some TT720 observations).
