If you, or anyone else, is passing my place (YO8 6QA) then you're welcome to call in for a brew/rest break.
It's only 40-45 minutes to the ferry terminal from here

I might pop in :wink:
To suggest " ragging your car round the ring " no doubt :lol:

I can meet the Notts guys at Newark perhaps.

I was wondering if the Leics/ Notts lot would meet up somewhere on route to Hull. Let me know what time you are thinking and perhaps we can travel up together.

Eventually managed to upload the maps/routes to the satnav ( had to get Mrs Jury to help :) ) Going to try and meet up with you guys on-route somewhere on Friday.

Checked the weather forecast this morning, looks like its going to hold up ok :)

My routes are in the right folder on my Tom Tom but haven't worked out how to access them on the device!

I struggled with that. If you go to itinerary you can select option, then load itinerary. It may ask you if you want to deleat the loaded route say yes. You should then have the list of routes to chose from that you have loaded from brian. You load each on in turn as you require them. Hope that makes sence.

I've discovered that version 3 of the Tom Tom One doesn't have access to itinerary features! I'll just have to follow somebody and use my map!

on my Garmin, it imported the routes as POI files in Extra's. I ended up creating my own routes using these pre determined POI's

Tell me about it . I've had the tomtom Europe app on my iPhone for a while now and it's been really good . When I got the email with the routes on I went out and bought a new 'all singing , all dancing 'European tomtom with traffic etc. only to find out the latest software doesn't allow you to import files or add more than four POI's .

I found a 'hack' for the TomTom One V3 to allow Itinerary features. Did it all and it's still not working! I think I'll give up before I break it for good!

I have managed to enter all the routes into TomTom app on the iPhone via the "advanced planning" if anyone want to know more on how to do it I'll post it up?? Just let me know.
