Design route on PC, download to all-in-one nav box

[endian675]

Hi All

Having yesterday been sent up a mountain to cross a pass that was covered in snow (and skiers), and then routed back to Calais via the Paris version of the A406 (but busier, if that's believable) I am rather keen to find out if there is any software that I can use to inspect the route that my TT700 has planned for me. Doing it manually doing Google Maps didn't prevent either of yesterday's disasters, mostly because finding the road names on the website is slow and tedious.

Is it possible to extract from the TT the route it has planned, and then plot it on Google Maps or other software? If not, is there any other all-in-one box that can offer this?

Cheers for any suggestions.

EDIT: whilst running a laptop with GPS dongle is appealing to me, it isn't going to go down well with the wife sadly, so that option is out.

Don't know a way to extract the route devised by TT itself, only an itinerary that you've input yourself.

but you can go the other way and devise your route on either Google maps or Google Earth and then download it to the TomTom.

Search the forum for either "Tyre" or "Houghi".

Cheers Andy, that's ace. Might even have saved my not-yet-a-marriage-and-now-won't-be if I'd asked about it yesterday...
