    Mapsend Directroute

    in Midwest

    Posted · Edited by hawkfan

    Does Directroute locate street addresses?  I bought MapSend Streets & Destinations thinking I could look up street addresses.  Unfortunately, all it will do is highlight the whole street.  I do love MapSend Topo for caching, but it would be nice if it would give town names on the GPS screen.  Thanks, Ed.

    Yes it does.

    Mapsend Direct Route Software Problems

    in GPS technology and devices

    See if it works that you keep each mapset down around 16 megs, and see if the Platinum recognizes that size in the states your having trouble with.

    The directions say regions can be up to 64 meg. Is there some reason you are suggesting smaller sizes? 16 meg isn't going to be very big regions even by midwestern state standards. Curious where you are getting this idea from...

    Mapsend Direct Route Software Problems

    in GPS technology and devices

    Posted

    I recently purchased the Direct Route software from Mapsend for my Magellan Platinum version. I upgraded the gps software to the latest version 5.2 which was a requirement to use this new street route plotting software. I did manage to upload my local region (Iowa) to my 128 meg SD card through a USB reader but I've been having a lot of trouble with the software bombing out halfway through the map creation process. The problem isn't because I'm trying to create a region larger than 64 meg by the way.

     

    Since I was having so much trouble with it, I decided rather than go straight to the SD card from the program, I would create several regions and save the image files to my hard drive. This worked pretty well....or so I thought. I created an image for Missouri and Minnesota and then tried to upload them to my SD card direct from my hard drive. When I finished and went to the database menu on my gps, the only region I had was Missouri. No Minnesota and Iowa disappeared.

     

    I'm getting frustrated here. Is there anyone who's had some experience with this software that could give me some tips on creating regions on my hard drive and then uploading them to an SD card successfully?? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

     

    Thanks,

    Does anyone know of a no cd patch for the Directroute software. I have other versions of Mapsend that don't require the cd to be in the drive when I use them and this new version is annoying that way.

     

    Thanks!
