Itinerary - Drive bys or destinations

andyfr · Posted: Thu Jun 02, 2005 9:12 pm Post subject: I give up!

Well I tried an itinerary with all recognised places and I still get the error if they are drive bys so I give up, I am going to have them all as destinations instead. Can anyone tell me if when I reach the first destination TT will automatically navigate to the next one and so on or do I have to do it manually?

I think you would have to do it manually .Probably the quickest way would be to save them all as poi's or favourites and tap "navigate to" the second one once you have reached the first!...and so on

Graham - All the drive bys were actual addresses the only one on an unrecognised road is my home which was both the starting and finishing location. I also tried a totally different itinerary using different drive bys and destination putting addresses in which I know are valid and I still got an error. Must be something to do with my installation. Confused

Dave - Can't I just keep tham all in the itinerary as destinations and then navigate to each one in turn? What is the advantage of storing them as POIs or favorites? Confused

Why are you using your home as a starting location? Could this be the problem here. Remember for intineries you don't need to tell it where you are starting from, it knows where you are because you have a GPS!

The normal format should be
drive by,
drive by,
Destination.

What i meant was ,there is no need to use the itinerary function (it won't work for you)..just choose the places you would have placed in your itinerary and save them as favourites or poi's and use the "navigate to" function

Many thanks to Dave for his kind help over the phone. :D He talked me through the steps and it worked. However, when I added my drive bys in I got the error. :o So...I started from scratch and just added one at a time and the one that was causing the problem is an address in Oxford. 8O I got to the destination by typing in the postcode, then the street. then the number so it should work but for some strange reason it doesn't. Confused

So it wasn't TT or me but this particular address. Rolling Eyes

Have you tried planning a route from your home to that address in Oxford?, It's most likely that the address in the form you are entering it is not in the database. There are certainly some addresses in TT that have either the street name labelled incorrectly or spelt differently to the recognised spelling.

Hi all

That's the strange thing, yes I can navigate directly to that address and TT plans the route. It's outside Oxford on a lane and it has a house number and postcode which TT uses.

The way I got round it was to look up the long/lat and choose Go to coordinates and with trial and error got it to accept the main road it runs off. Confused
