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. _________________ Formerly known as Lost_Property

I have my TT6 set at 5 miles or 1760 yards in old money,
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!!
I beg to differ your honour,
Merry Christmas everyone |
