Hi,
Newbie here...... so forgive me if this a really stupid question -
Is it possible to simply drive around with the TT One working, whilst not actually trying to direct you to a destination??
95 percent of the miles I do in this country, I know how to get to where I want to go anyway... however I would like to have the TT One running with this sites excellent speed camera database running.
At the moment, I am having to put in any old destination and then turn off the volume (as it gets really annoying being told to `turn round` all the time!) However, it sort of defeats the whole speed camera warning idea if the audio part of the system is switched off.
Cheers |

From the main menu, tap right arrow to find the 'Clear Route' option.
If this is not a visible, use Change Preferences, tap right arrow to find 'Show ALL Menu options', then do procedure above.

| But be aware that if you have the POI camera warnings set to "Warn only when on Route", you won't get ANY warnings when you don't have a route set like this. |

Other option
Download and choose silent voice

Select the route to your true destination. Warnings to cams will still be given but no direction commands. |

The latter. It is always dangerous to tick 'only on route'. I take the view that it is better to get a few red-herrings (adjacent roads, etc.) than not to get one that you need! 8O

That's putting it WAY to strongly!
I ALWAYS have it ticked. You just have to be aware of the advantages and disadvantages inherent in BOTH options. |
