This is my first post about my first Tomtom.

In the past, I have been provided with Garmin's for my work navigation.
I now have a Tomtom Start 25.

Question - is there anything similar to Base Camp or Map Source for Tomtom?
I know about TT's online route planner, but while I am out and about, I dont always have access to the internel and want to be able to plane my routes on my laptop locally.

Is this possible.

Thanks in advance.

not for newer models like yours, unfortunately.

Older TomToms had several good solutions for this, including the excellent "Tyre" (http://www.tyretotravel.com/)

But none of the latest TomTom models support "Itinerary Planning", which is what is needed to import the .itn route files.

All you can do is add 3-4 "waypoints" onto an A-B route, and you can only do that on the device itself.

It's a crying shame and a source of complete bewilderment to most people why TomTom should have made such an awful business decision.

Is this still the same?

Afraid so.

TT have now launched their even newer range and THAT doesn't have any itinerary planning either, although it *is* promised for the future.

But I believe they have no plans to ever get it added to the NAV3 models
