Hi guys,
Im a new user of a Tom Tom 700 and could do with a little bit of help!
As im a town planner, one of the requirements of my job is to travel to various addresses to conduct site visits.
At the moment i have to mark on a map all the various properties i need to visit in order to find out the fastest route around them.
After sorting my route i then input the addresses, in the order i wish to visit them, into the tom tom, using the 'itinerary planning' function.
Is their a way, instead of me having to work out the fastest route on a map, instead have the tom tom do it?
Many thanks! |

If you have Autoroute you could place Pushpins on each of the sites. Then set Autoroute to Optomise. Save the File as a .axe File.
Run a Program called ITNConv, which will convert the Optomised POI axe file to a .itn File ready for copying to the TT.
Get ITNConv from http://leforres.perso.cegetel.net/itnconv.zip _________________ Richard

Autoroute is a seperate software package published by Microsoft, you would have to buy that. ITNConv can be downloaded for free. |
