:oops: Does anyone know how to get the tom tom itinery attachment from the e mail to my tom tom? apologies for being a dummy

Save the files from the email to your hard drive eg c:\temp.
Connect your TomTom
copy the files into the \ITN directory on your TomTom
reboot your TomTom
go into Itinery options
Load saved itinery (they should be listed)

:oops: Does anyone know how to get the tom tom itinery attachment from the e mail to my tom tom? apologies for being a dummy

Connect the tomtom to the computer and copy and paste the files into the folder 'itn' on your tomtom. Go to itinery planning and select 'options, load itinery'.

Changed your name now

[Jonttt]

double post

[Canman]

do these files work with other sat nav's for example a Navman ? if so how?

[Jamezee]

Thanks for that gents

[pingu]

Im going to pay for all of the cars in my group over the bridge so we can get though quickly. Perhaps other leaders can do the same?

Time to call in the reserve leader

Connect TT to computer. Explore the folder called itn and drag and drop from the e-mail.

Have you copied them to the 'itn' folder?

[Robert T]

The ONE 3rd edition does not seem to support itinerary files, even though it has an itn folder. I spent ages trying to get whiteminks' TomTom to work at a Tatton, and it just didn't have the menu options. I since read online that it is disabled on the 3rd edition and it involves a lot of hacking around to get it to work. Sorry.

Cheers R.

ouch that would be a bummer

I've just sourced a latest Go UK new sealed for £80 delivered, well impressed with it compared to the original ones I used to have (especially the new slimline built in suction mount). Got it as my Becker does not seem to support itineries and easier to follow a map on a cruise Downloaded and working itinery files no probs (no sure what version the current one is though?).

I've also sourced some walky talkies (x4) to use by people who need them (will hopefully be here tomorrow) so all tooled up for a cruise, just need sun now if someone can sort that

[Canman]

sorted almost.

Same with mine, i found the itn folder and placed the routes in it but can get no further!

[Phil]

I've got a map and a pencil to plot the route.
As I'm leading one group we will make it to Whitby but not necessarally by the prescribed route -- hee hee.
The fish and chips is the priority

hopefully I will have a programmed tomtom for you on Saturday. I have the route printed off too - 38 copies. If all fails you can just follow the black lines on the road

I am just going to tell them the one at the back is paying...Works for me

I'd get that oil leak sorted if I were you

[Deano1712]

haha -not.

Back on topic - the weather forecast is dry, and 16 degrees, so its a mandatory topless cruise.

Shall we bring the can opener for ZZZEMMCO or will you

[ZZZEMMCO]

I heard that I was going to leave the shirt at home

[Guest]

sounds like a blast!

Well, I didn't put my name down for it, but apparently I will be at home in Yorkshire on Sunday now!

...typical eh?

That's as bad as me having to go to Rockingham for son's 21st

When are we going to see that Z8 ???

Hope you have a great day folks

[Guest]

I'm sure the covers will be coming off it soon! I think she's scared in case I steal it

would I do that? ...

[TrickyZ1]

car cleaned - check
itn files loaded and working - check
tunes sorted - check
alarm set for stupid o'clock - check

am I missing anything?

oh, and can somebody organise some sunshine?

look forward to seeing everyone in the morning

[Alfie]

Have LOADS OF FUN guys!


Looking forward to seeing the pics.

Keep it safe.

I went to pick my Z up "early" today as the sun was out and save me getting it tomorrow morning but flat battery so good job I did as its now on charge ready for tomorrow (luckily I pass were its stored to get to the meet).

I now have 2 walky talkies (was hoping for 4 but other 2 are sat at post office ). I've never used them before (I feel like a kid with them). I presume we all have to be on the same "channel", any idea which one so I can set them up (obviously one will be free for someone who needs one to use )

your missing Sun glasses and suncream and 40p

[TrickyZ1]

your missing Sun glasses and suncream and 40p

...and camera

[Deano1712]

Channel 3 for me Jontt. I have two walky talkies as well - one for each hand

Dont forget suncream or we will be having a 'reddest forehead competition' at the end!

[Jonttt]

Channel 3 it is.

Mine has some sort of "secrecy" function to code the channel and make it private. I take it we are not doing anything that fancy as we don't mind who's listening in ?

This could get a bit "police acadamy"

[Jonttt]

This is worth a read if your new to cruising the "Spokey" guide to cruising

good luck to whoever is behind Deano (just don't follow his lines and you'll be able to keep up )

I think we should have proper names for each group as well

[Deano1712]

Cheeky sod. Keep up while you can, you may struggle next year

[G2JRP]

Hi,

I am already for tomorrow, Have two spare walkie talkies if any body needs?

See you in the morning, Alarm set for 5 o' clock!!!!

Regards

Jonathan

[Desiro]

Hi jonttt
could I possibly borrow a spare walkie talkie as I am in your group.

It might come in handy because I don't have a tomtom and cant read a map

[Guest]

Have a great cruise everyone.

Hope the weather is good for you - drive safe

[w4tkins]

Rushed home from cheltenham to get Zed clean, Re-fueled and ready for the morning!!!!

Got sun glass,
Camera on charge,
New wheels fitted,
TomTom dont work
Failed with the walkie talkies
Got to raid the piggy bank for 40p

'o' and try and keep up with Ian (myredzed)
See you all in the morning

[Jonttt]

Course you can

You don't really need a tomtom or map, you won't miss Deano's reversing lights as he backs up after a wrong turn

[myredzed]

Cleaned the zed, fitted the ACS wheels for the summer, refueled, camera ready, TomTom ready

Got to raid the piggy bank for 40p

I'll do the toll for everyone in my group so no need to worry about finding 40p.

'o' and try and keep up with Ian (myredzed)

I'm more concerned about the ///Ms in the group overtaking me

See you all in the morning....

[pingu]

Alarm set for 5 o' clock!!!!

It's good to have a lie-in at the weekend, isn't it?

I was at Wetherby Services at 1630 today and the sun was shining in a clear, blue sky. Let's hope for the same tomorrow.

Off to bo-bo's and see you all in the morning.

ps Don't forget your 40p's. If I pay for your toll, you pay for my lunch - deal?

[G2JRP]

Time now 5:10, soon to hit the road.

See you all in about 4 hours.

[Canman]

see you soon chaps, now where's the suncream

[Robert T]

Enjoy the day - weather is fab over this side of the pennines.

Cheers R.

I have put another post on for photos and post cruise comment. Note that this post will probably get deleted eventually since posts in 'Check your diary' dont stay forever. The other post is in 'Event /cruise aftermaths' and stuff in there is for keeps.

[spokey]

Actually, I move these into Event Aftermaths...
