Guest Tracker Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Just found this on the web - you can plan a route anywhere - and it appears to be free. http://routes.tomtom.com/#/map/?center=51.516693%2C0.36669922&zoom=9&map=basic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Way2Go Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 That's been around for a while but is a useful alternative to Google Maps although you can't save the results to your TomTom as its just a 'LIVE' planning tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basil Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 IMO I believe you are better off using 'Tyre'. See http://www.janboersma.nl/gett/index.php Bas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
postnote Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Download TYRE, great for planning a route where by you have specific locations or spots you want to see. We used TYRE when we were in Australia, we chose the roads we wanted to do. We loaded into our TomTom, it did the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barryd999 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Thanks for the link. Its a bit like the Via Michelin site http://www.viamichelin.co.uk/web/Maps I prefer the Via Michelin as at low level its maps are quite good and it shows scenic routes as well as allowing you to set preferences to avoid tolls, motorways etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Way2Go Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Similar looking map and facilities but the satellite image is very low viz (for our region anyway) and has a published date which is 4 years out of date (although in reality its more likely to be 5 - 6 years out of date judging by the car parked in our driveway).

postnote Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I would still recommend TRYE, takes a bit of practice but is great as you can change between map, satellite and especially terrain modes. Really good if you want to follow an interesting road through the Alps. Only good if you have a TomTom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
