ONE XL

JimR · Posted: Sun Aug 12, 2007 2:57 pm Post subject: ONE XL

Would someone with a ONE XL be kind enough to check if, when a route is planned the current road being travelled on is shown across the bottom and the next turn / road number displayed in the top right corner.
I know that with no route planned the current road being travelled on is shown across the bottom.
Thanks.

Sorry vroomfondel - could you spell that out for me in the language suitable for a four year old. Exactly where have I upset something and what menu screen have I been on to do so? Embarassed

Bear with me DennisN,
I have done what you suggest but alas no result.
When I have “no route planned” the name of the road I am on is along the bottom panel. When I plan a route the name along the bottom changes to the next road I am to take – and also (unnecessarily) in the top right hand corner.
I have had a Classic since time began and it has always been this way but when I got the XL last week I was pleased to see that TT had apparently altered this to show when a route was planned, the name of the road I was on was along the bottom and the next road number in the top right corner. Eureka.

I tried some PC juggling to try to keep the “volume link to speed” ticked – it goes off each time the XL is switched off and has been mentioned by some others so it’s not just mine.
After this fateful PC effort I find that the current road display when route planned has now disappeared and I assume I have done something in error to cause this.

I have eliminated all the ticks in the Status Bar Preferences and the street name is gone. When I tick “show street name” it shows the street I am on but when a route is planned that display changes to the next street rather than staying with the current street and with the next turning in the top right.
I am slowly going apoplectic thinking that I have imagined the update on this version (but I didn’t)
Confused

You have to bear with me, I'm afraid, because I don't have an XL. But there are similarities across the range.

In my Status Bar Prefs are two items of value ...
Show Next Street Name
Show Current Street Name

There is another menu - Name Preferences, where there are
Show Street Names
Show Next Motorway/Signpost (goes top right)
Show Current Street Name on Map.

Do you have these to try?

I have a sneaking suspicion that showing current street name whilst on a planned route is a brand new feature only with my GO720 - I saw somebody comment that it is a welcome development. I now get current street name displayed on the map, just above the status bar (too small for me to read!) and next street name shows on status bar. I do not select (in Name Prefs) Show Next M'way/Signpost - too much clutter.

No DennisN – I don’t have this menu – but it is possible that in my adventure with the XL linked to the PC I have inadvertently wiped out a menu – something definitely happened when they were linked.

“There is another menu - Name Preferences, where there are
Show Street Names
Show Next Motorway/Signpost (goes top right)
Show Current Street Name on Map.”
No DennisN I don’t have this menu either and it would appear that this is the one I need (and maybe had before the fateful PC episode)

I shall have to install the original from my back up and see if any of these menus are available or indeed return to their rightful respective places.
Many thanks for your patience.
Thumbs Up

Did you click "Show fewer menu options"?

Should I? - I have "all menu options" ticked.

DennisN · Posted: Sun Aug 12, 2007 11:17 pm Post subject:

Maybe different on mine - when all menus are showing, the preference is "Show fewer menu options". When fewer are shown, it changes to "Show ALL menu options". With you saying the menus aren't there, I wondered if you'd inadvertently clicked to show fewer, because when I do that, I lose both the Status Bar Preferences and Name Preferences menus.

Or perhaps you meant to say you have the tow menus, but you don't have those ITEMS in them ?

Answered that too fast - Clicking "fewer menus" removes too many options - I need "all menus" to show.

"Or perhaps you meant to say you have the two menus, but you don't have those ITEMS in them ?"

That is exactly what I meant to say. I will have to reinstall the original from the (luckily stored) back up and see what that leaves me.

Second final throw of the dice!! - Are you disconnecting properly when you've been plugged into computer? With TT Home you MUST click the "My Device" icon, bottom left to disconnect. With Windows Explorer you need to right click the drive letter and select "eject".
