We would take parts for the club car in return for the ticket. We are after wheels, lowering springs (and maybe shocks), exhaust and a decent head unit....

That's a good idea.

 

Free servicing and MOT for the year

Branners - any clues on what new satnavs accept the route files. I know some older ones do. Mine doesn't and it's a tomtom that's a few years old so I'm thinking about getting a new one if I can get one that will take them

[TT Paul]

Google it bud itn files for tomtom

[Guigsy]

I have but all the info is from 2012/13 which doesn't help me with current models. And none of the spec sheats list anything with itn files. And the halfords site doesn't mention specific model numbers or what I'm buying.

People seem to say the xxl does it. But again. That's info from 2 years ago

This is the one most of us have, the newer ones don't have ITN Files

[Branners]

I would assume that NO current range TomTOms will take the ITN files.

 

I complained to them and they basically said tough and sod off!

 

So for dbv2 I will be getting a garmin and building for those as they support route files properly.

 

If you want one that will definitely work get the TomTom XXL Euro maps. £80 or less and includes the first map update free which is usually £49.

[MRX]

I'll be converting the itn to itf so that I can load on to my satnav on my phone. When will the routes be ready JB? Could use a day or two to make sure they're working ok. Cheers

[T2 MSW]

When we get the ITN files will be also get satnav Co-ordinates for the stops and the hotel? Ive just looked at my sat Nav and it doesn't support ITN files

A word of warning with the sat nav routes, make sure your maps are up to date. My Garmin with maps from 2012 didn't have some of the roads we will be travelling on.

thats the one i was looking at. cheers Unfortunately its not available anywhere near me. ill see whats on amazon

 

The more i read the more i get confused about bloody tomtom. advice on the forum says avoid anything with a model number ending in 2 if you want itn files. which the XXL i can find on amazon seems to have, So im not confident to blow 80 quid on one.

So i think im just going to go for a garmin. there website, which is a million times more helpful than the crappy tomtom one says that "The nuvi, LIVE, zumo, Camper/RV, and dezl products have the ability to load GPX files to add more waypoints, tracks and routes."

So i think a nuvi 56LM 5" should do me fine.

[Branners]
