Car Forum / Land Rover Cars / April 2006TomTom POI's for Byways or Green Lanes
OK so maybe it's wishful thinking but does anyone know if a database of Byways is around on tinternet suitable for the TomTom? > OK so maybe it's wishful thinking but does anyone know if a database > of Byways is around on tinternet suitable for the TomTom?

And there is some obligation on the users to engage their brains before blindly following a nav instruction down an unsurfaced track!

LoL, or the artic that went down a single track country road and got stuck. On a different note, are police radar traps(parked in a side road with radar gun out of the window)required as part of the speed camera database? -- Jon > On a different note, are police radar traps(parked in a side road > with radar gun out of the window)required as part of the speed camera > database? If you mean do we log them, then yes, information gratefully received :) SignatureDarren Griffin PocketGPSWorld - www.PocketGPSWorld.com The Premier GPS Resource for News, Reviews and Forums > OK so maybe it's wishful thinking but does anyone know if a database of > Byways is around on tinternet suitable for the TomTom? I've played around in the past with the output of the Wayfinder Client (you need to be a GLASS member to access Wayfinder), it's in RXF format which you can import to Memory Map, then export as CSV, grep out only the waypoints, then feed it through GPSBabel and voila. Bit messy but it works. The only problem is the coordinates in Wayfinder aren't that accurate in the first place, so poor data in, poor data out. They're good enough to get you in the general location though.

Nortern greenlanes gives out their routes in gps format, though I have never used them ( still in the dark ages with enormous papery os thingys) Icky:-) |
