input say 10 postcode lacations at once, so it would route you to the next closest evertime you reach that destination?

Have found 11 pubs in a town we would like to sample Laughing before hitting the town centre, basically if we follow a map, we will walk for miles and only find 4 of the 11 Rolling Eyes

oh an its tomtom 5 pocketpc edition, so will be walking not driving 8O

create a new poi category...........`pubs`
then create a new poi for each postcode/pubname you have, then, when you are at your first watering hole click on `navigate to` ...`poi` ...`pubs`......
as long as you have a `fix` then your options will be listed in closest-furthest away order...
hope this helps
cheers

Better of using the itinerary planner as when you come out of the second pub, the first pub will still be the closest to the second!!

the problem with the itinery planner is it doesnt unfortunately organise the route into any sensible order other than the way it has been input, which is a pain in the backside..

Isn't that a bit harsh?? All the poor ozzy bar staff too? What about the regulars?

I suggest you leave the pub standing (much nicer than being laid out on a stretcher!!)

well 3 weekend time till i put it to use,

the bigger picture, im staying in a travel lodge type of thing, which has no bar! its 4.5 miles to the town centre< (peterborough ) have found there is 11 pubs between, centre and our bed! over about a 8/9 mile walk, so will pub crawl into the town centre, hopefully via sat nav, so we dont end up walking further than needed.

my sat navs on my mda vario, so would just seem as if i was sending a text etc when sitting in the pub and deleting the current entry!

Be careful with your power management, typically these things don't last for more than a couple of hours away from power.
