Hi there,

Yes it does automatically move on to the final destination. I also found it
slightly disappointing that you can't set multiple intermediate waypoints,
but before you start your journey you can set all the required places as
destinations. Use the "Sort" function to place those points at the top of
your memory then it's easy to pick the next one when needed.

For example, if I drive from Bath to Peterborough Mildred (as she is fondly
known) may try to send me along the M4 west, M5 north, M42, M6, A14 and A1.
But if I preferred to go generally north-east past Oxford and Northampton I
would set up the following destinations:
1 - Oxford
2 - Northampton
3 - Peterborough

Then set out along the M4 until you are somewhere past Swindon (which you
can see on the on-screen map) and start navigation to Oxford. When you get
somewhere near Oxford stop navigation and re-start it with Northampton as
the target. Then, when close to Northampton stop navigation again and
choose Peterborough as the final target. It's not ideal, but it does work
provided you remember to set it up before you start your journey.

I haven't updated my CDs lately but I see the latest ones for the UK include
the TMC function via a Classic FM data feed. Has anyone tried this feature?

regards,
David.

You can not have more than two locations active at any one time.
In simple terms, you can only enter one final destination, and
one *via* destination. For example, if I lived in Rennes
(Brittany), and wished to travel to Toulouse (Midi-Pyrenees), but
I needed to stop in say Dijon (Burgundy) - I would first have to
enter Toulouse as my final destination, let it calculate the
route, and then, whilst the Toulouse route is still active, then
enter Dijon as a *via*. One point to mention though - the
distance remaining, and arrival time will only show for the first
city you arrive at, in this instance Dijon. As soon as you
arrive at Dijon, it will then automatically clear Dijon and then
display distance remaining and arrival time for Toulouse.

If you must have more than two cities, in your case four, there
are two ways of working around what you want - each method has
differerent advantages.

If you have time before you start your journey, method 1 would be
to enter city B and let it calculate the route. When it has
finished calculating, stop the navigation, and enter city D and
allow it to calculate. Again, after it has finished calculating,
stop navigation, then enter city C, allow it to calculate route,
then stop navigation, and enter city A, let it calculate, and
start driving. This may seem a strange way of doing things - but
each of the cities you have just entered are in the *destination
memory* of the unit. So when you reach the first city, you can
very quickly select the next city from the memory without having
to select each letter from the menu.

Another method would be to enter city D, let it calculate, and
when it has finished, add city A (as in my Rennes > Dijon >
Toulouse example above). After you arrive at city A, and it
clears itself from the unit, and starts to display city B
details, then add city C. When you get to city C and it clears,
add city D.

Another method would be to first enter city C, and then city A.
When you get to city A, stop navi for C. Enter D as the first,
and then select C from the memory. When you get to city C, stop
navi for D. Then add city B, and then select D from memory.

You really need to have some trial and error to see which method
works the best.

Hello Sean,

Thanks for all !
You confirm with complete explanations, what told us Andy Turner :
Only ONE "via" destination possible in programming : it's a pity..

Thanks for the different solutions to solve that !
Storing in advance the different stops seems the best idea, so, in each
stop, it's easy to indicate the next stop, because it's stored in memory

Again, thanks to everybody for your replies

It seems that next Travel Pilot DX on Audi A4 (GPS model with screen
colour) will be no more on CD, but on DVD , (one only DVD for whole Europe
for example)
But, do you know if multi stops will be possible ??

Best regards

Jean-Max

The new DVD-based systems which Audi are fitting are no longer Travel
Pilots. In fact, they're not even manufactured by Blaupunkt, but by a
Japanese company called Aisin. A single map disc covers the whole of
/Western/ Europe. So, for instance, I can set a route from home (in the
UK) to a street/house number in Italy.

> But, do you know if multi stops will be possible ??

Yes, it is possible to set up to three stop-overs.

The good news is that it is possible to retro-fit the new system into
most recent model Audis. For instance, I have replaced the old CD-based
Nav plus in my RS6 with one of the new units.
