Since I've started learning my way around the TomTom ONE, I've noticed that it does not let you do route planning/calculation unless you have a GPS signal.
You can however use the "Advanced Planning" to get calculations of simple A-to-B routes. AND you can hook up to TomTom Home and the "My ONE" interface to do any kind of route planning despite having no GPS signal.
That said, I'm confused about something. The other day I discovered that I could do more complicated routes (with waypoints) via "Itinerary Planning" without the computer and without a GPS signal by choosing "Start Navigation" from the options of "Itinerary Planning". It would just use the last known location as the starting point.
BUT today, I tried the same thing, and now all of a sudden it's not letting me and says "Waiting for GPS signal".
Does the TomTom ONE give up "waiting for a GPS signal" after a time period OR is there a way that you make it to allow you to do "Itinerary Planning" without a GPS signal??? If there is a way, then apparently yesterday I did that without realizing how I did it.
Hope that made sense... sort of complicated to explain.
Thanks
EDIT: I'll just clarify that it is of course allowing me to build the itinerary, but it's not going ahead with the route calculation without a GPS signal... yesterday it was doing the latter just using last known location as the starting point. It was really handy to be able to review the route inside before even getting in the car (without having to use the computer interface).
