Google Maps to ITN files

[Neil1300R]

OK I admit it, I've failed and its really annoying me. Trying to convert the Beaune / Geneva routes into TomTom ITN format.
Using
http://www.houghi.org/tomtom/
It converts but gives a 0 byte return on file size. Which can't be right. Tried other programmes but none seem to work.
What am I doing wrong?

This is what I have used for ages
Files sizes are small
My long runs are only 2kb

Thanks Mikey
works on the last one - back to Calais but not the others. will wait for Cockernee to tell me what he's done with the Google maps links that have been sent

[theno23]

Didn't someone (Cockers?) already do that and post to dropbox?

I have:

beaunetoJLC.itn
calaistobeaune.itn
Cockernee Loop.itn
JLCtoRitter.itn
RittertoCalais.itn
Yeti Loop.itn

Which I think is the whole lot, though I've not tried uploading them yet. Mail Simon to be added to the dropbox account.

I assume there is nothing we can add in the way of files to the built in garmin systems ?

Mikey's programme claims to do Garmin file format conversions.

I have sent you an invite to the Dropbox shared folder with the ITN files

All those ITN files should load onto your TomTom. What doesn't work?

The batteries, the charging sockets, the TomToms, the satellites, etc etc.

Haven't loaded the ITN files yet. Was donig it the hard way, take the routes and try and creat an ITN file. Now I've got the ITN files I'll load them up tonight when I get home and have the TomTom with me.

I bet it would work if you used a Mac

Well the Aston Satnav will have the destination each day programme in. the mobile phone has google maps, so will have that as an additional backup. Two chargers in the car. There are also 20+ other Aston's to follow.
Do I need to take a sextant in case modern technology fails?

Although I only paid £6.99 at a local car shop

Single point of failure!
Are you sure you should risk 3 connections off just one lead?

Sounding very bitter and twisted there! Must remember to fill up your Inbox with lots of pictures of us having a great time. Will even try and remember to get a group one of us all with beer in our hands. No burgers though.
