2016 S Club Euro Tour - 007 - Going Dutch

[Top Gear TVR]

Having realised last night that I should sort my paperwork and the realising my MOT was to expire this weekend, I secured a test and pass today.

So, do we have a PIMP?

S Club Devon?

I'm liking the sound of that Terry.

) I wonder where Terry's scone this time!

Have you got that replacement engine sorted yet?

Think the engine has survived Glenn. I've been tinkering about with it, and beleive it's nothing more than a blocked oil pick-up and the use of the wrong grade oil. I'll post up my findings/actions when done.. (before Eurotour)!!

No Terry, those are the GTS scheduled toilet stops. Obviously the unscheduled stops cannot be scheduled on the itinerary, so wee'll just have to go with the flow!

Mental note to self:
Remember to take my sou'wester.

( At least I'm not up to my neck in it. )

No, you will be getting Satnav files. You better prepare yourself ;-)

[LawrieS]

Does anyone know of an iphone app that takes the sat nav files?

Could someone send me an example that i could play around with?

Thanks

Don't think an app exists that can take itinerary files (multiple waypoints) even the newer tomtom units don't take them, you need an older version. Not sure about the far in units but I'm sure someone will be along shortly.

[TurboTony]

Max is correct about later TomTom units. However I do remember Maffe using an iPhone with the itinerary files loaded so it must be possible.

I'm it now and my supremely helpful Dutch assistant is currently reviewing the route files

I don't know about I-thingies but the newest tomtoms DO now accept the custom itn files

The newest ones now accept Garmin GPX files

even worse

I have a Garmin and have no idea how to upload (if possible) a route onto it

[PompeyTim]

The newest tomtom units actually accept .itn AND .gpx files...
