Hello, just starting to get to grips with TTN3 and My Ipaq 2210.

Can anybody please tell me if and how you can set up a route and tell it to go on a certain main road.

I.E. I f i am travelling up north but desperately want to go on the M18 instead of straight up the M1, how do I tell Tom Tom to do this ??

Thanks

Paul

Tap and hold on the point you want to drive through, choose "Add to itinerary" and make the point a drive-by.

You may need to fiddle in the itinerary screen to get your drive-bys in the right order.

Paul,

In addition to David’s reply, if you wish to use the itinerary feature of TTNav3, then ensure that the following is done:

Properties | Advanced | Itinerary, check the box for “Multiple destinations”.

Alternative you can just drive your preferred route and once you get onto the M18 TTNav should recalculate your journey for you. Thumbs Up

Regards,

Thanks for the quick replies.
I have tried what you said David. It did not work.
I must be doing something wrong.

I made a route going to Loftus from Bracknell. This takes you onto the M18 then onto the A1. So for this exercise i went onto the map and held the pointer at the point of the junction and put it into my itinary. What it did was, it used that point as a drive by but then put you back onto the orignal course making you go back where you came from.

Any thoughts

Thanks

Paul

Put the drive-by some way along the road (like half way) - that should do it.

Don't forget to go into the Itinerary screen, tap and hold, then clear all when you've finished with the itinerary - otherwise you may find yourself finishing up with some very bizarre routes!

Please can someone explain the 'multiple destinations' option?

I don't understand what this does ...

Thanks.

Hi Chris,

Have a look at this reply. Thumbs Up

If it doesn't help then say, and I'll try again. Smile

Something I have noticed, you have to ensure you get the point on the correct side of the road otherwise it sends you on some interesting routes to get to the oppoite ide of the carriageway!!

You can also Save the Itinary to memory (Tao and hold) and of course also load a saved one. I have found this very useful for planned journeys where I want to go a different way, say taking the M40 south rather than the M1.
