Do you know how many feet there is to a mile.

5280 feet = 1 Mile.

If you set to Warn when near it could help if, for example, there are roadworks and you plan to divert.

I have my TT6 set at 5 miles or 1760 yards in old money, Laughing Out Loud

Just to repeat, you need to have plenty of distance to stop and actually check the location of the restriction as TT occasionally warns you of bridges just off your route.

It also does have errors on the database I have. Mine is set at 14ft and lower yet tells me I wont fit through the Monmouth tunnel!! Laughing Out Loud

I beg to differ your honour, Laughing Out Loud

Merry Christmas everyone
