.itn planning

[Alan29]

Do any of the current Tomtoms allow me to plan on the PC and download routes? We tow a caravan and would rather check routes on Streetview for nasty bits and then plan accordingly.
NB not interested in paying a kings ransom for one of the trucking/caravan satnavs.

Afraid not. Just another stupid decision on the part of TT to reduce functionality on newer models.

We have a motorhome and I wanted the ITN planning feature for a similar reason.

When my old TT died I did a lot of research and bypassed the newer range and instead found a brand new TomTom GO 750 LIVE which came with European mapping. Excellent device and I can again plan itineries to my heart's content.

The LIVE feature is also brilliant (although a tad patchy of late) and has diverted me around several traffic delays including an accident en route to Dover and a big delay around the Brussels Ring Road.

You might be able to still find a new one or try TomTom where they have a refurbished one for £139 http://www.tomtom.com/en_gb/shop/tomtom-outlet-store/go-750-live-refurbished/

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the replies, guys.
I find it hard to get my head around the reasons for reducing the usefulness of a product.
Anyway I will probably head off in te direction od Garmin as some of its models still accept pre=planned routes. Garmins Mapsource is an excellent tool for planning as it uses the identical maps to the satnav and includes lotys of pois too.

I'm glad I've still got my old TomTom One 1st Edition.

It still has itinarary planning with v900.4608 maps because the latest app is only v7.903

Itinerary planning works on all software versions up to, and including, v9

Anything running v10/11/12 software (i.e. all the new "Nav3" models) will not have it.
