 |
|
I have been searching all around for this, so I'm pretty sure it hasn't been answered.
I've been using Scaredy Cat's N2c program, and I have deduced how to write the longitudes and latitudes, but I can not figure out how to actually calculate the route.
For instance, under longitude, I put 42.2342 and under latitude I put -65.432, and I press back after writing each one.
They both show up on the main screen, and I see a blank button and exit. No matter which button I choose, nothing happens. What do I need to do? |

N2C will only work with GO versions 5.202 or 5.203

| You are reversing latitide and longitude. Try switching the numbers. Also, you must have a satelite lock for it to work. |

Since the OP hasn't put their location in their profile, how can you tell?

You don't say what device you're using, but have a look at this thread. It relates to Navigator, but the function to load ITNs should work on any TomTom.

Because Long. 42.2342 Lat. -65.432 is just off the tip of Antarctica!! |

Yeah, and if you accidently swap the lat&long, you get somewhere in Uzbekistan.
But at least I made landfall.
Feeling considerably less embarrassed 8) 8) 8)

Right, no matter how you do it, these coordinates don't land on terra firma or any existing TTG map. By reversing his original lat/long numbers, you end up in the Atlantic a few hundred miles off the coast of New England.
No wonder the poor TomTom won't respond! |
