thanks for the "favourite tip" i managed to input a couple of those along the route while sat at some traffic lights and that seemed to help do the trick for the return itinerary plan with favourites as waypoints along the route

with regard to carrying on up the M3 past the M25 junction, i set myself a waypoint on the M25 just past that junction and thought that would be the end of it, but for almost the rest of the trip after it was "turn left" or "take next left" - was determined to get me either rerouted back onto the m25, m4 or a4 asap - I'm gonna try out gardensheds recommendation of "tyre" for the return pickup trip next weekend

thanks, i see the a-b prepare route on the menu, no wonder they dropped the word "advanced" there's not much to it is there

General - how did i get on ?

well aside from the bloody tt turning itself off about 4 times on the way up and 3 times on the way back for a 37 mile reach-way trip - i'll have to scour the threads in a min as i'm sure i read i'm not the only one with this

the highlight of the day was prob hitting a pothole and having my location bump me across the other side of the road and 60 yds up a sidestreet -

i got there using my front seat passengers knowledge more and coming back was a cool smooth run with the favourites in place

thx all for your knowledgeable replies, time & help

tyre does work on the pc and you can save the resulting file either on the pc or tt as an itn file, sorry for the confusion

[TTOV3]

Dennis the/a menace you certainly are not, gentleman springs to mind,

many many thanks for the continued support and those co-ordinates - it did indeed work an absolute treat

i do hope you didn't spend to much time on calculating ideal points along the A316 to eventually find a spot where it didn't take you off to the [M4,A4] left

if i find "tyre" easier to navigate and create waypoints and entire routes because its on the fullscreen of the pc then i think i might still like to give that a go, as for space, an itinerary takes 1kb and i got 272,049 bytes still free so i'm sure an sd card wont be a requirement anytime too soon

once again, muchas gracias amigo

Apologies if this has already been mentioned but when TomTom insists I use the M25 when I don't want to I just tell it to re-calculate avoiding the route excluding the M25 or whichever road it is. This is an option on TomTom's although as I don't have mine to hand at the moment I can't recall the exact menu option.

By the way TTOV3, we're neighbours of sorts

thanks Darren [neighbour!]

any other options to help avoid the M25 are always welcome and indeed you are quite right in what you said - its load route - tap screen - find alternative - avoid part of route - which then displays the route as text and you select the road you want to avoid - it recalculates and job done ; altho i would almost swear i tried this the other day, but perhaps i forgot to save it as a favourite after the edit

6 days into ownership and im learning a plenty and fast thanks to all you good guys, 'ard northern b**t**ds included

by the time my hopes of a uk tour come to fruition about next summer time i shall be master and jedi @ one with my (TT) one
