Well ive tried everything that I know to try before coming here and begging for help.....So, I guess I just need someone to slap me up longside the head and straighten me out. I have created routes using google maps and then took that and used the HOUGHI.org site ......created the route file and took it into my TT. Everything was good so far till I actually tried to use the route.....it had me going in two to three different directions and none of them the right one. It seemed like the TT was doing its own thing on mapping out my route instead of using the route that I created. So, after that I thought I would give TYRE a shot.....same thing happened, created the route file....put it in the TT in the itn folder.....the TT sees the route file and loads it.....but when you try to follow the route in your car it goes nuts....takes you everywhere but where you want to go. Oh, and by the way, when I loaded the route, i selected the shortest route when asked so that it wouldnt or shouldnt try and use the IQ routeing. If anyone has a clue to what Im doing wrong, and I feel like it is me and not the TT that is screwing up somewhere...heh heh I would sure appreciate hearing from you. As far as the 740 goes it does a fantastic job of routing and finding poi's....only problem I have had so far is what I described above. Thanks in advance
