Sat Nav B roads ...

[No More Names ......]

Does anyone know of a satnav that allows you routeplan without using A roads ...

Or an online routeplanner that has more than avoid motorways as an option .. as AA and RAC did not ..

just use google maps and plan your route as you want it, then just import it into your sat nav job done

If i can plan a route via google and put it on a tom tom car sat nav, then that would be ideal, would just have the audio playing as sat nav in pocket.

I will have researched route aswell, map and google earth, it's just with so many B roads to go through, and the odd small stretches of A roads .. this custom map thing is ace, and the extra miles covered will be fun and at 100 mpg ... ta

It will definitely be a more direct route but you'll end up averaging 40MPH at the most going by the average state of B roads (some are fine, some are terrible) which means you'll get there a whole lot slower.

But yes, it will save lots of fuel however long it takes to get there.

Thanks Alex,

I'm not fussed about the fuel being a 125cc, more bothered about going along nice roads at whatever speed instead of dual carriageway A roads with cars screaming past me at 80 !!

[Alexio]

True, but instead of the danger of cars zooming by at 80 you'll now have to contend with tractors, sheep, cows, horses, narrow roads, blind corners, random pedestrians etc.

I wouldn't really say it was safer and there are great A roads just as there are great B roads. So if you're doing it for the sake of your pride I wouldn't be too worried. If you're doing it for the route and to explore then good on you

[G]

The 'shortest' option will often effectively give you this - I did this across the Alpine foothills and it took me along some pretty fun roads, including a few tracks as I'd turned 'unpaved roads' off too.

[No More Names ......]

Yeah, i will plan some nice varied routes on my way to UK nice spots ... ta

You can Alexio, but i have 10 years driving experience, and anyone in that cue maye dive out to overtake the lot, and take you out in the process, which then could put you in the path of all traffic both ways whilst your on the floor .... be wary of that m8 ...

[Alexio]

I haven't been hit by a vehicle yet! I'm pretty sure I'm seen most of the time, at least I know that I'm always visible in their mirrors. Not that cars always check their mirrors It usually looks too dangerous for the cars to overtake anyway.

It can be fine near on all the time, but would you take a 100 - 1 chance on your life ... because it's the one time you encounter not being seen in that scenario that could be fatal ... it's upto you, i at your age, albeit in a sardine can of a car, drove like a boy racer m fer .. in this scenario, often when one of the cars decides to go go for it as it were, they gun it quick without much thought for a hard to see 125 cc trying to do the same, they can pull out in a instant, on near foot to the metal, and that's when you come a cropper and the calculated risk goes wrong big time, i'm not trying to preach to you Alexio, but it is not a risk worth taking when in a big tractor cue like that on a 125 ...

going to borrow this thread for a bit if i may.

so TomTom + Google Maps = sat nav route of my choice?

how does TT cope with this? last time i messed with TT using itinerary it was really annoying as despite "reaching my destination" TT didn't move automatically to the next.

does TT work different when using google maps routes?

[t121anf]

doh,

just found this in the google maps/send/options

[No More Names ......]

I don't know how the tom tom or using the google maps works yet .....

[t121anf]

by the looks it simply exports your destination, hardly helpful unless you don't know the postcode etc, i suspect it outputs the exact gps location as a destination

[theopj]

Just get TYRE - it's really good. It uses google maps to power it and lets you plan route really good and create the .itn files for the tomtom.

aha, just learnt to use waypoints not destinations.

that way tomtom directs you to your waypoint and its marked as visited as soon are you are within a radius of it.

TYRE seems very good at this.

obviously things have moved on this i last used TomTom

[Pedd]

sorry for late reply but as already been said Tyre is the way with tomtom. does a good job too
