Do you have full postcodes for all of the addresses, and do you own MS Autoroute?

Great work, I can confirm the ones I know of in and around the Fylde are are in the correct place, Oldboy do you mind explaining how to do this using AutoRoute - I've got as far as importing the Excel data as pushpins but stopped at that point - Cheers

You save the map, normally as an .axe file.

Using Oldies POIConverter program - http://rjdavies.users.btopenworld.com/html/poiconverter.html open the .axe file and then save as TomTom file.

Simple, and it works.

Next create your custom .bmp file.

Many thanks - will try that later on when I have finished re-building the TT menu structure with the online tool set, decided to mess around with it big style last night - best improvement to date is loading up another voice complete with voice matched data.chk file so its a common voice for prompts and speed cams - just need to finish the menu then I might be fully happy with TT5 - cheers Mike
