|
|
I need to get to Junction 19 on the M5 (near Bristol) tomorrow but am unsure as to how to navigate to it using the Tom Tom 6 software on my pocket pc. I don't think I can use the junction as a POI, so any ideas? |

Just about to give the same link. There are motorway entry and exit POIs under Transport. I haven't checked whether your specific one is there but I'm fairly sure all the main motorways are complete. _________________ Gerry

Navigate to/ Point on Map and very carefully select the correct point, make double sure you have the correct carriageway selected or it will behave in a strange way.
Create a Favourite loacation using the Add Favourite/ Point on Map, and very carefully select the correct point, make double sure you have the correct carriageway selected or it will behave in a strange way. ame the Favourite and it will be stored for later use. In the morning use Nav To/ Favourite (select the one you have saved) and it will take you to the junction - there are more ways to do the same thing, but the above gives you a couple of options - Mike |

Or if you'd like to cheat the service area at Junction 19 is at N51.47680 W2.70795. _________________ Dennis

Edited to add - you need the Exits File if you want to access the connecting road. _________________ Richard
