You cant easily use Google maps routes on most sat navs, but as Keith says. free software is available that links the two. I use tyre as I find it easy to use. Within the Tyre application, you can open a google map and simply plot a route by placing a series of waypoints on the map, either by click...

Does anyone know how to get an existing Google map onto a Garmin Sat Nav by using Tyre?

New to this kind of thing so I need a bit of help

If only you had known of this when Steve had his grey LE500 - you could have matched them up - hindsight eh :lol: I had a look at steves LE500 at one of the TECH DAYS and was convinced that the two colours were the same, to the naked eye anyway. No doubt if I put the LE500 bumper on the difference ...

Thanks Rob.

What got me thinking is MG now seem to be using numbers for paint codes now. ie XPower = LEF and Graphite = 108 CAJ (Mica -Tallic)

I now suspect they are different also.

I was offered a Graphite Grey LE500 front bumper for my Xpower Grey TF but the cash simply wasnt available (so my missus said) and I thought Id need to get it painted etc which would bump the cost up, but it got me thinking. The XPower Grey and the LE500 Graphite Grey look very similar but they have...

I was looking for a set of 16" Trophys a few months back but couldnt find any so ended up buying a set of the Mike Satur 17" ones which poped up for sale. (even rarer than the above 16"'ers)

These look nice so good luck with the sale.

Does Google Maps link with Tom Tom?

Does it link with other Sat Nav manufacturers?

Looks like the finishers are welded on as opposed to my MK4 which were separate.

So what are the benefits of the double/split boxes?

The routes for the HIGHLANDER 2011 are just about complete. Still a couple of wee bits and bobs to tidy up. They have been created on Google Maps (still getting the hang of Google Maps :sf: ) The links will be posted soon. Im hoping this allows members to input the routes onto SAT NAVS etc prior to ...

I have an XPGrey TF, but it aint me! That driver looks older, wrong wheels and wrong rear lights for it to be me.

I doubt if you'll find an outlet in Glasgow selling Hard Tops. You'll need to look in the ususal places, e-bay, gumtree etc. and also be prepared to travel to buy. Last month I sold my XPower Grey HT to a lady in West Yorkshire! Alternatively,if you are struggling to find one locally, you could buy ...

SOLD
