After lurking for a while & several searches I have not seen this mentioned...

I have TT5 Navigator on a Palm T5.
When I set a route the route is shown a line with white dots on. They seem to be a uniform distance apart but I can't work out what the distance is between the dots.

Any ideas?

TIA
Ian

(Very impressed with the site by the way)

That's TomTom's way of highlighting the route. I don't think there is a specific yardage in the spacing, purely a graphical thing.

Vector points, it's how the map is stored. Bascially it's just a set of points and TT assumes the road is a straight line between these points. Look at the corners you will see there are lots of points there.

They only look like dots from a distance use the zoom to zoom in on the route and you will see they are white arrows to show the direction of travel.

As well as the white dots there are triangles on some routes, but no idea what they represent.(Nor do certain soles at TomTom)

Are they the One Way symbols?

I though they were one way/direction symbols.
Thats what they seem to have tied up with so far.
