Is there anyway to set road speed planning?

[gacrane]

Hi

I’ve been using TTN5 for ages now and I like it but what I would like is to regain the ability I had in TTN3 to change road speed settings for route planning. I understand this function isn’t available in TTN5 but wondered if it is possible to find the area in the software where it sets the speeds and alter it directly form there.

So my question is this does the TTN5 use figures set by road type somewhere in the application to do its planning and if so does anyone know where and can they be changed?

I’m guessing TTN6 uses the data on the maps so didn’t even think that way would be an option.

Even though I like TTN5 if the above isn’t possible does anyone know what software still offers this functionality either for PPC or PND’s

Thanks

Graham

Can't be done with TTN 5 or 6. I remember a couple of years ago on the CoPilot forum, someone came up with a way of changing the settings (colours, speeds etc) in CoPilot.
Although you can change menus and colours easily, nobody has posted a similar set of instructions for speeds in TomTom, so I assume it is much more difficult.

For Tom Tom not to enable this is rather unhelpful. TT6 estimates a c. 3 hour route about 20 minutes longer than MS Autoroute. Does anyone have influence with the manufacturer to resolve this?

Hi

The original point of this question was not because I worry about the actual ETA given by the system but more to do with forcing the system to use certain roads over others. By setting smaller roads to 5mph and larger to "normal" speeds the fastest route would avoid the smaller roads. This would then make the planning better for Caravans, Lorrys, Trailer etc. That is how I used TTN3 when I was towing, the rest of the time I don't realy care if I'm sent off down a tiny road, well sometimes it great fun to play in the 4x4.
