Armchair route planning

Newbie question. Have finally got my TTN 3 to work and now anxious to learn more. Is it possible for me to sit down in the 'ol armchair and plan a route without having to connect to the GPS receiver? I have my home location saved as Favourite 1. Would that be enough to plan a route to location B? If I have to sit in the car to plan, wondering what the drain on the car battery is?
Thanks in advance for any responses.

Hi Vernon,

Launch TT,
tap small arrow top left of screen
tap map,
tap A to B,
you will then see T & From tabs fill in both these with your destination and where your journey may start from does not have to be your home location.
Tap OK
Tap screen
You can zoom in and out using the slide bar on the left hand side of the screen.
Tap tools and then demonstrate route if you want to see a demo off the planned route.

You do not need GPs mouse on for this .

1 more point rather than having home in No1 fav why not put it to the Home icon.

I aint no expert but it works for me.

Many thanks Ali.

Excellent. Going to try that. Maybe you 'ain't no expert' but you are a user and I'm still trying to 'find my way'. Appreciate your response very much.

Also save destination as a POI in your armchair - you can easily set up a new group of POIs such as Family, Freinds, Business, etc, then when in your car, turn on TT with the GPS connected and "navigate to" and select your POI. Easy peasy.

I find that the A to B feature takes a long time to find addresses etc, I tend to zoom into the address/road you want in map view and hold the stylus on the destination you then get the option to navigate to this address. If home is your starting point then select this to navigate from. Also Neil's postcode programme is an excellent bolt on which finds full postcodes quickly and accurately.

Both these methods work without a GPS connection.
