TTN5: Saving of Advanced Planning Routes?

[Bill_Q]

Hello:
With TTN3 it was possible to plan a route from "A"->"B" while located at "C" and save it for future use. However, TTN5 does not seem to allow this. While one can plan such a route with "Advanced Planning" there does not seem to be provision for saving the result as one can with an itinerary.
Can anyone tell me how this can be done with a simple routine?

Thanks in advance for any assistance that may be forthcoming.

Itinerary is the only way to accomplish that.

If you know the Lat/Lon of your waypoints then you can create the ITN file manually.

You could craft an Itinerary C>A>B, and then use a text editor to remove C amd make A the starting point.

Thanks for the reply, Lutz.

I created an itinerary C>A>B and tried to copy and paste to Word using File Explorer but found that I could not paste to Word. How do I go about creating and modifying an .itn file?

Sorry to be a Homer.

If you copy the .itn file to the PC, you can edit it with any Text Editor.

Note - the 2 at the line end denotes a Destination and a 0 indicates a Waypoint.

On the Pocket PC you can use Pocket Notepad or similar freeware.

Hey, that works! Thanks, men.

The following was a trip I made a month or two ago:

-48962|5142156|Brightside Avenue, Laleham (Surrey)|4|
-38582|5143966|Rae's Place, Hanworth, Hanworth (Middlesex)|1|
-143553|5376050|Bridge Farm Hotel, Swillingdon|3|
-137739|5379612|Bar Lane, East Garforth (West Yorkshire)|3|

I was able to succesfully delete the departure ("4" above) and replace it with Hanworth as the departure (1>4) and it loads and works nicely, thank you.

One thing, though. Departure point appears to be "4", waypoints "1" and destinations "3". Does this make sense? What, if anything, is "2"? And does it really matter, anyway?

Thanks for the reply, Oldboy.

I had actually uninstalled TTN5 and gone back to TTN3 as I was underwhelmed by "5", so tried the change with "3", which worked. I can only assume that each system has it's own assignments.

My own personal feeling about TTN5 was that it had a lot of functionality I didn't need (although many people might), and it had lost some of the functionality I wanted. So I'm happy with "3" - just wish the maps were more up to date.

Thanks to all for the assistance, much appreciated.
