Tyre mate, it's a piece of wee as long as you have itinerary planning on your Tomtom.

Have tried it.

Don't buy a bloody mac then ;)

Can't you run windows on the side on your mac?, my mate does on his with no problems.

No idea. How would i even go about doing that?!

Dunno i could ask him for you, he runs windows apps on it as well as apple OS.

Taken off Apples site.

Can I really run Windows applications on my Mac?

Yes, you can. Since Apple’s transition to Intel processors in 2006, Windows applications run beautifully on the Mac—faster than they do on many PCs, in fact. To run Windows applications, you’ll need additional software and a Mac with an Intel processor running Mac OS X v10.4.6 or higher. Every currently shipping Mac qualifies, but older Macs may not. Please check your system profile in About This Mac to ensure What you need to run Windows.

To run Windows applications, do I have to run the Windows operating system?

Yes, you do. Basically, there are two ways to run Windows on your Mac:

1. Boot into Windows at startup. This dedicates 100% of the processor power to Windows and Windows applications. You can’t use Mac OS X again until you restart.
2. Use virtualization software, which lets you run Mac OS X and Windows side by side. You can switch between them as easily as you’d switch between Mac applications.

But you can’t run Windows without Windows—you’ll need to acquire your own copy of either Windows XP or Windows Vista to use either solution.

Hmmm, ok that seems to be alot of effort and expense given i need a copy of XP etc.

Does anyone know of any good sites/places I can convert my google map route into an itinerary file?
Or Phil, could I send you my route, for you to convert to Itinterary file and then send back? (just for this one time obv)

Re: google maps onto tomtom
 

This is what my mates just told me...

Easy peasy, install Parrallels software then install windows.


Dan, I can do the conversion for you no probs.

Ok, well currently, I have an itn file (which i believe to be what i need) However, i cannot figure out how to get it onto my tomtom. I pressumed it would be a drag and drop into the itn folder.......but i cannot find the itn folder. lol (and yes it has the intinerary function lol)
