im going to spain and just wondered if i can choose a round trip or just select my home address in the uk to return?

I believe you should just be able to select your home address. That's if you have the full European version of CoPilot though and not just the standard UK version!

If you have created a corridor map, then it should utilise this rather than downloading the full maps which will save space.

i have created a trip to spain on my laptop but when i download it to my pda it just locks up i dont have the full european maps is that the cause?

it just gets to the part where the determing current position shows and the 5 bars show and the pie chart type symbol just keeps going round...

Although I haven't tried it, a you only have the UK map this ould pose a problem, whether it would lock up or just sit there with the spinning pizza wheel, it will be a problem because it will need to interrogate the spain map and if it doesn't exist then that will certainy cause a problem.

Do you have Major Roads installed to the PDA ? Have you tried plotting a route to a major road ?

Ok, this is where you have to be a bit careful. If you are transferring planned trips from PC to PPC then you have to re-cut the map data and send this. This also obliterates any favourites you do have on the PPC so it's usually best to either program the same favourites into the PC version or copy them from PPC to PC before you do a map export.

just thought thought id let you know the trip of 1600 miles each way went fine except when approaching dover where it went screwy and came up with an error code which i dont rember.also it would not work until a couple of miles outside calais.then it kept directing us off the slip road and back on otherwise well worth the money.im going there (almeria) in 3 weeks to see a friend where im going to hire a car to look around the place where some of those spaghetti westerns were filmed good bad and ugly etc its in the desert so id better not get lost Laughing Out Loud
