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.

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 Twisted Evil the service area at Junction 19 is at N51.47680 W2.70795. Very Happy

Which is near enough to the M5 J19S Exit (as given in the POI File). Wink

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