When you are on the route push "menu" and then "stop navigation". Go to routes then click on the route you want. That will bring up your route and the list of way points you have listed. Delete the starting point and any other points that you don't want to go to. Then navigate the new route.

Last year went through the same thing with my Garmin 76csx. I reloaded the map program many times and the driver. Reloaded Windows (I hate that). Nothing worked, I called Garmin and the tech said that the trouble is with computers with non-Intel drivers. He said to get a PCMCIA USB Expansion Card. I did get a card and everything works OK now. I don't like that solution because I don't understand it and it worked fine before.

A 2GB will work fine. See the topic below and do a search. http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php...p;hl=transflash

Take a look at the Horizons Unlimited forum. Its not just motorcycles. They have a lot of overlanding info including sources for international maps. http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/

From the Garmin web site this is the map that you want. Detailed streetmaps and navigation. MapSource City Navigator North America NT Part Number: 010-10816-00

I put some custom POI's in my 76CSX and I get a icon on the find screen for "custom icons". They don't mix with the factory POI's. I have several custom POI files and they are mixed together.

I have found some things that help me. If I have a route that I download from MapSourse I remove the start point (home), it may want to send me home just after I leave. I don't make round trip routes anymore. I make at least one route for each direction, maybe more. Make sure your GPS is set the same as you routes from MapSourse., like "quickest" "shortest" and the things to avoid. The last time that I did a round trip route I also took a new section of highway that just opened, that really messed the GPS up. After that I just used "go to" the next waypoint for the rest of the day. Most of the time I am on roads I know so it is not a problem if the GPS wants to take me another way. If I am on unfamiliar roads I don't know that it took me out of the way.

That happened to my laptop and my 76csx. I called Garmin and they said that it was the USB card in my computer and that I should get a Intel USB card or a USB cardbus card that plugs into the side of my computer. I got the USB cardbus car and it works fine now but I don't like the solution to the problem.

Thanks, I have set the auto zoom to "off". I will test it this afternoon. John

On my motorcycle trips I like to keep my screen zoomed in to see which way the road turns ahead of me. It zooms in when I am in cities and towns for turns but after the turns in town it zooms way out. In order to get it back to where I want it I have to push the "in" button about 10 times to get the view I want. Is there a setting I can use to have it return to the view I want. The GPS is a Garmin 76csx.

I loaded 488 MB into a 512 card in my 76csx, about 40 minutes. No card reader.

At the first cache yesterday I left a toy BMW R100GSPD (thats a motorcycle). I thought that I would look online and find more of those but there were none to be found. I went to the store where I bought it (years ago) and there was nothing. I don't know what will be harder finding caches or finding trade items to put in them. Now I have to search and find out how to download geocache locations.

Yesterday I looked for my first, DNF. Today I found two. I am still reading the forum and learning what to do. I just got a Garmin 76csx and it works great. I am waiting for a mount to put it on my motorcycle, today it was in my tank bag. I need to take more stuff with me to trade.
