Burna Posted May 11, 2018 Author Share Posted May 11, 2018 You should all now start to receive an email from Eurotunnel with your train time, booking reference, and access to fill in the API before you go. Please make sure you bring your booking reference with you on the morning of check-in for the train. It should read your car reg automatically, but in the cases where it doesn't, you will have to manually enter your booking reference number on the screen.

Spunkmeyer Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 (edited) Is it worthwhile trying to convert them to itn files or are GPX too detailed for itn files to work? I have a TT XXL I have apple car play, can the routes be downloaded to my phone and used offline? I tried to do so from your link and it just wants to start from My current location Edited May 15, 2018 by Spunkmeyer (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to do so from your link and it just wants to start from My current location /QUOTE] We've ditched the old tomtoms over the last two years mate as the maps were so out of date it caused some real problems, and to buy the map updates didn't make financial sense when the new tomtom's work so well with the custom routes. No idea about running them on anything else, as I haven't tried, but some that have say once you actually drive the route it takes you direct. It's up to you, but my advice is get one of the new tomtom's, as the routes I've done are all back road twisties with loads of switch direction junctions for hours, and I'd say impossible to follow someone when overtakes are involved and local traffic. Halfrauds usually have a deal on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
