Ah, well there are POI downloads for Tomtom that'll do that for Keyfuels, RED and a couple of other cards. -- Conor www.notebooks-r-us.co.uk I'm not prejudiced. I hate everybody equally.

What it may not have any resemblance to, at least until later in the journey, is the actual time of arrival. But then a satnav isn't to know you'll have a craving for a Pukka Pie in the Newport Pagnell services, is it?

Tomtom does if you download the POI's for the card you're using. I had POIs for Keyfuels, RED, BP Bunker cards. -- Conor www.notebooks-r-us.co.uk I'm not prejudiced. I hate everybody equally. |
