I have just purchased a Model ONE. I planned a trip from Cocoa Beach to Grand Island. The trip plan took me up to Daytona Beach and back down to Sanford and did not go to Sanford using route 46. I did a download yesterday and did the plan again and the TOMTOM used route 46. I think I just needed a current down load. Thanks for your help…..HARRY.

I found that road on my TomTom. Which model and map version are you running?

Yes, that road is 46 and not 406. I stand corrected. Thanks for catching my error.

I just looked at a map of that area and I see State Route 46 that goes between those towns, but not 406. Did you mean 46?

In the state of Florida map there is a State Road 406 that runs between I-95 just above Titisville, FL and Sanford, FL. It does not seem to be on the map and you do not use it to program a Trip from Titusville to Sanford. I use this route. Can you update the map and use it to program trips.

One thing that I notice with my TT-720 is that when I get off into unmaped areas there is simply the location pointer with no map overlay information. It would be nice to be able to use the unit while doing outdoor sports like hiking, camping and boating. In some cases this could be a real life saver, if not a major misery eliminator.
I don’t see any reason why GPS usage with a system this capable shouldn’t be able to plot routes with reference to elevation to stay out of flooded areas as well.
So these would be the two main features I would like to see added to the device if possible.
