Hi Bill, I have been running TTN6 on an HP PDA running Windows Mobile. With that I can select "advanced planning" and select "depart from" and "pick a destination" and it will work out a route and show the details without having a gps fix. This means I can check distances and journey times from in the house rather that having to be in the car. I do this quite often and its a facility I would really miss.

It depends what you mean by pre-plan. On my Garmin I can plan a route on my computer and then transfer it to my SatNav. This isn't possible on my iPhone. On CoPilot on my iPhone you can plan a route by adding a stop/POI etc then save the route. I assume you can do the same on Android but you would need to check.

Unfortunately it doesn't look likely though I don't know why. I reckon TT are missing out on a lot of business. The essential features I am looking for are. 1, Maps on the phone - so that it all works without internet or phone signal and I don't get hit for roaming data charges when outside the UK. 2. The ability to pre-plan a route without having a gps fix. I do this a lot with TTN for planning journey times etc. 3. The facility to add custom POI's, preferably the ones I hav on TomTom. 4. The ability to re-route around problems.

You could take a look at CoPilot Live <http://copilotlive.com/uk/personal/android.asp> for Android but neither of them are cheap.

I have been a very happy Tom Tom user since TTN3 but I really want to do all my navigation using the new phones. Anybody got any views? So far I have tried Google Maps - not bad but I want maps permenantly on the phone. Navfree - not bad for nothing. The maps are on the phone but its nowhere near TT Sygic - so far using the free trial. This is really pretty good but could be better. Over to you.
