Patch to enable use of .itn files?

[Camembert]

Hi

Is there a patch for the XL IQ Routes2 that will allow me to use .itn files made using Tyre?

Thank you.

Thank you for your timely reply as ever. Unfortunately I can't get the page options shown here:

Any ideas where I've gone wrong please?

I'm confused. Are you saying that the link doesn't work?

Click here --> https://www.tomtomforums.com/t22302-how-get-more-menu-options-models-easymenu.html

and the link to the topic should work for you, too.

If not .. well, I've got no clue. You'll want to back out of this thread and manually head for TomTom Support > System Configuration and Customization > How to get more menu options on models with 'Easymenu'

It's a sticky right close to the top.

I wasn't able to switch to the Easymenu, despite having an icon for it.

A link where? The model comes with EasyMenu. There is no icon called 'EasyMenu' on the device. The links canderson provided show how to add functionality to that menu structure on the device.

Sorry, my bad. I meant to say 'Switch Menu.'

Have just resorted to using MenuTT and it works beautifully with Tyre.

What's "Menu TT" please? Got a link?

 

[Camembert]

Sorry for delay in responding to your post.

MenuTT is a tool similar to SwitchMenu. I get the impression that SM is preferred to MenuTT, but I guess you have to try what works with your device.

Direct link to MenuTT is just above the word 'FONCTIONNEMENT.' here:

After much Googling, I think I've come up with an effective way of planning, saving and launching an itinerary from XL IQRoutes 2.

You will need:

MenuTT (see post #10). This modifies the EasyMenu on the satnav to enable itinerary planning.

Tyre. This enables you to assign Waypoints to your preferred route.

TomTom Home2.

ITN Converter. Claims to be able to create itineraries, but I couldn't see how it's done. (If anyone discovers how to do this, then Tyre won't be needed.) Although Tyre copies .itn files direct to the satnav, I preferred to use ITN converter to export to the satnav via TomTom Home2. (It's more fun to use!)

I found the programs to be user-friendly so won't go into usage details here. However, to locate an itinerary on the satnav menu:

Tap screen> Done> Tap arrow icon until you find Itinerary Planning> Tap icon> Done> Yes> Done.

Choose either: Details> Browse As Text icons to check your Waypoints have been successfully loaded or just tap Done.

That's it!

Thanks!

Perhaps someone could test my method and post it as a sticky?

First find someone with an XL2.....Anyone out there?
(a lot of people sent them back once they found out about the dumbed-down menu structure!)
