Hi,

I have an interesting problem with TT3, I would be grateful if someone verify..

I have installed Full UK maps and MRE onto my CF card.
I plan a route in the UK using UK maps and TT3 works fine.
However when I switch maps to MRE & try to plan a route to Avigon or Paris etc, TT3 responds with its default screen & won't determine the route until the GPS has a reliable fix. The GPS signal is reporting a signal strength of 6... I even switch apps to the GPS app & its looks fine.
If I switch back to UK maps, it route plans as it should..

Any ideas


Many thanks
Tim

Set up:
HP Jornada 568
256Mb CF
Upgraded TT3
TomTom wired Mouse (From TT2)

I have just tried the same exercise.
I got a choice of only one option, to use the map center as the starting point, if you say no then it will not calculate the route till the GPS has a signal. I think this is because I have never used the MRE with the GPS connected, and therefore it has no references stored for this map set.
I would guess that once you use the MRE "live" it will start giving you other options.

There is however a way round all of this, that is to click on the small a-b icon at the bottom of the map screen, and to manually entrer you start and destinatin. If you do this then the route will be calculated.

Carll,

Thanks for swift reply. To clarify a little, the MRE route I am trying to plan is from Cambridge UK to France, & I have only tried this with the GPS connected..
