help getting to Disneyland Paris

Hi

Ipaq 2210, BT TomTom, Navigator 3.GB and maps of Europe.
I have never used TT3 outside UK.
I am travelling to Disneyland on 3rd march and have the following questions:

Can I switch maps from GB to major roads of Europe whilst still in UK
If so, do I just enter the actual address of the park or has anyone any better advice regarding address info?

Or do I wait until I'm across the channel before switching maps?

Any advice from anyone whose done this journey before gratefully recieved.

i am travelling from jct 30 M25 btw.

apologies for basic questions

Cheers

Mark

If I were you, I would swap to the France map when you get across the Channel. Put Disneyland in as a POI before you set out..... Here is the location from an earlier thread.

Steve
thanks but the link isn't working for me.
can you check and try again please.
I phoned the Uk offices for Disneyland and asked for the postal address but what they gave me does not make any sense to TT3 or even Multimap.

They gave me:

BP100
77777 Marne La Vallee
Cedex 4
France

Thanks

ok
I've just searched and found an old thread with multimap info of location and also the lat and longtitude:

Lat:
48:52:24N (48.8732)
Lon:
2:46:16E (2.7712)

How can I use the above data with TT3.

Is htere a way of entering data to instruct TT to navigate to the position?

Thanks

Oops sorry.....

You can zoom in and out on Multimap. Like I said, set up a new POI using Map view, and just navigate to it.

Why didn't I think of that?

Many thanks

the problem with using MRE is that the small roads will not be on the map when you get there...... Wink

While I think of it......

Is there a way to print out the written instructions that TT produces when plotting a route?

Understood you had the maps of Europe. MRE will certainly get you there if you do not have the individual map of France. I always carry a map anyway, just in case....

You cannot print out the directions from TT3. Try www.viamichelin.com very good website for directions across France, etc.
