[Navigating routes exactly as created (no recalculation by unit)]

OK, now it works.

 

Thanks for the tip.

[Navigating routes exactly as created (no recalculation by unit)]

Sorry, I will try to be more explicit. Once you have a route, click it with the pointer tool It should turn yellow. then click and drag it to where you want it to go through. It should redraw going through your new point, and make a navigation point (like a waypoint) on the route. When you transfer this route to your GPS it will send the start and ending points along with all the intermediate points.

 

CenTex,

 

What version of Mapsource do you have?

I have 6.11.3 and mine doesn't do what you say. The route does tunr yellow, as you say but when I try to drag it it only draws a rectangle, nothing more.

[Poi Loader For New Garmin "x" Series]

Hello, everyone,

 

I've been here for a while but I guess this is my first post.

This is a great thread, I must say... although it took me some time to go through it.

 

I managed to upload some POI into my GPS (60Cx) based on your suggestions.

Searching on the Internet I found this web site - http://www.elsinga.net/poi-icons.html - where you can find a whole bunch of icons that you can associate with your POIs (mostly for speed limits - signs are the European format, not the North American).

 

Also, Garmin has a list of POI sources on their web site: http://www.garmin.com/products/poiloader/POISource/

 

And now, a question regarding geocache POIs.

I read that one can include the hint into the description field. I downloaded a couple of loc files from www.geocaching.com for testing purposes but I can't find anywhere the hint. Is this available to premium members only? Or am I missing something in this picture?!

 

Have a nice day,

 

Laurentiu
