tomtom - how do I "go to" any favorite ? + is a bit slow

2007-01-31, 10:33 pm

If I want to quickly jump to a place on the map, it seems I have to enter
the whole name. City, Address. I'd rather just do that once, and add it as
a favourite and then just tell the software to go to that favourite.

I can almost locate one of 2 places, if I set one as depart, one as
destination, it puts a route in between. And I can do tools..ozoom to
route, to get it on the center of the screen. Not ideal though

It's also a bit slow, on my HP IPAQ 4150, scrolling the map. My memory map
software is alright. In both cases the map is on my 'storage card'.

I assume that the PDA version of Navigator works the same way as stand-alone
TomToms - in which case:

Browse Map
Find . . .[Type city/street etc.]
Zoom in to the point of interest and locate the cursor on it
Tap the cursor icon at the bottom, and select Add as Favourite. Give the
favourite a name.

Next time, you can do a find and simply select the Favourite which you
created.

I can't remember what earlier versions did, but in v6 when you select 'find'
you get a screen with all the options - Home, Favourite, Address, Recent
Destination, POI, etc.

v5 also allows Home,Favorites, entering post codes. I had a
ridiculously early version.
