Congestion charge

Before upgrading to tomtom navigator 5 on the ipaq rz1710 (wired), i noticed a screenshot which warned people that they were about to enter the congestion zone in London. I presume that this should appear when you plan a route that would take yoy into this zone.

The problem that i have is that the only warning i get is that i am going through a 'Toll Road'. Is there a setting that i am missing somewhere or is this normal?

Many thanks to anyone who may be able to help.

I assume so, I can only speak from using TT3 but there is a section in the advanced settings with "London congestion charge" with the options of

Avoid area
Warning

Which do just that.

I can't find any advanced settings. There is an option in the 'change preferences' but that just says 'Toll charge preferences' and there is nothing about the London congestion zone in there.

I've just emailed Tomtom about this. I will post their answer as soon as it arrives

Cool, sorry i've not got TT5 yet so don't know the ins and outs of the new menus

Don't hold your breath mate

been running tomtom navigator 5 for the last week and yesterday unfortunatly i had to pick some freinds up in central london following the tragedy, when i entered the destination as finsbury square it popped up as toll area, it also warned me about 500 yrds before i entered the area that toll was coming up. although i am not to sure how accurate it is as red ken has a habit of changing his mind a lot i dont think tomtom could keep up

Just got the reply from tomtom (not bad considering how busy they are). On TT5, there is no warning of the congestion charge but only of toll roads. (the screen shots i saw must have been of tt3).

Ps. the congestion charge is on tt5 but it is classed as a toll road.
