On some of the larger routes I get an error but have at least begun to make some progress, finally. I'll keep working on it. Thanks for your assistance and guidance.

I will play with the programs tomorrow and see what I can work out. As long as my buddies don't give me routes in Streets & Trips format it will apparently work, if I cn figure it out. I'll drop a note to let you know but may also have questions too. Would you know of any program that would convert Streets&Trips to use in TomTom? Will let you know - thanks, Thanks much Tim.

I have found it is difficult to to route plan directly on the unit or through the computer whee it shows a picture of the unit. Many of my friends do the Streets and Trips and load to their GPS (non TomTom units). Anyone know anything about this or where I can get a conversion program to allow this action?

However, I was promised when I bought it the car adapter kit would be available in 2 weeks. After several emails, mpre promises and direct conversation with their service personnel, the kit remalns "out of stock." I expect they have no intention of supplying the kit. The problem is, on long trips, the internal battery will run out and there is no way to recharge it until getting to a 110 volt outlet. I have a Rider (18 months) and it functions quite well.
