Hi,

I have a Tomtom 510. And i am about to start quite a long trip, approx 10hrs driving each way, with a lot of it accross country.

What would be perfect is if i could tell me tomtom that every 200 miles i need to go to a petrol station, that way i wont run out!

Is the only way to do this to look up the petro lstations on the route via the web and the input an intinery?

Thanks,

When you have planned your Route you can use Find Alternative | Travel Via | POI | POI along Route | Petrol Station.

The locations will be listed, from the nearest to your current position, and will show an Arrow Icon. If this is green, and straight, the location is very close to your Route.

If the green arrow is not straight, it means the location may be up to a few hundred yards off your route.

An orange arrow is further away still.

When you have left that location you can repeat the above for the next leg of the route.

As a suggestion I would recommend the Fuel POI from this site, as it can should a Brand Name, if that is important to you. There are over 7000 locations listed.
