Hello peeps...

just thought id share this with ya. Basically you plan your route as you would on google maps with all your waypoints/stopoffs etc. then it converts it for use on TOMTOM and the likes.... Works a treat and saves hours !!

Used it a few times and its great, Let me know how you get on.

Cheers for that, will give it a go next time I'm planing a club run

 

No worries, Have just plannned my route to southern france, italy, switzerland, Austria, Germany (watch the WRC) then back up to blighty. I thought it would take ages to put all the points in the sat nav but like i said it saved loads of times.

Id be happy if I could plan routes through more than one selected country at once, on my TT5 equipped PDA.

 

Right, I've downloaded it, what do I do next?

I was just saying the other day that I wished I could put my routes from Google Earth into TomTom

 

Hi sal,

when you open the program itself the little box comes up. with one of the options being "editor" click on this and it will take you to google maps/earth. click away with all your waypoints/stop offs etc then once you have done click on the "x" top right and it should list all of you points in the screen you started off with. Save your route to your desktop, Now conect your tomtom up, open your tomtom via "my computer" and then drag and drop your file into the itn folder on the tomtom.... now take tomtom and just select itinerary and away you go. I know its not the clearest explination, hope it helps tho.

Any probs give us a shout

GC8...there is a version under the winowd one on the link above

 

Cool thanks for that RMH! Should useful for my little planned trip from Budapest to London later in the year!

 

I was at the NXP Semiconductors technology centre in Eindhoven last week (ex-Philips) and saw a BMW keyfob that takes route plans wirelessly from your computer using NFC technology and then beams it to your beamer's satnav along using the key-less start signal when you get in the car.

 

Cheers James, I'll give it a go Do you know how many itineraries can be stored in TomTom?

 

Does yours have the SD card slot in the bottom ? if so it just depends on how big that is i suppose. But other than that i dont know...sorry

James

 

Yep I've currently got a 2gb SD card in it which is mostly empty I still haven't tried the programme but I'm hoping to get a bit of time tonight

 

Right, I've made my first itinerary and saved it, I have no idea if it works yet but I'll let you know

This is an excellent programme

 

Great isnt it sal !! Good luck.

James
