vfrpilot Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Hello all - Recently made the jump to PC [Mac user] & was wondering if its possible to track - (watch) my movements via my Laptop while driving - ?? In other words; having my unit connected to my laptop, & being able to WATCH my movements on the [laptop] screen as I drive - 60c City Select V7 As always; thanx in advance! Quote Link to comment
+webscouter. Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Go to Garmin's website and download the nRoute program. (It's free). this will allow you to track your movements. P.S. remember that cars are VFR not IFR devices. Keep your eyes on the road. LOL Quote Link to comment
+Quoddy Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 You sure can. I prefer using nRoute, a free download from Garmin, which incorporates your CitiSelect into a PC routing program. It is probably exactly what you are looking for. Quote Link to comment

+Red90 Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 For "Track Up" / "North UP" toggle click in the icon with the N and the up arrow or CTRL-O or look in the "View" menu. Yes the map moves. Quote Link to comment
ossumguywill Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 How do you do this with a magellan explorist 600? I use this as me mapping unit, so can I make a track log on the computer? Quote Link to comment
+Trucker Lee Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Please keep in mind that driving is your first priority, watch the road, not the screen. Quote Link to comment
vfrpilot Posted October 7, 2006 Author Share Posted October 7, 2006 Red90: Thanks man - right on target! ossumguywill: YES, you can save a track log to your computer - I can't vouch for units / software other than Garmin tho - sorry Trucker Lee: Of course - saftey being the 1st priority - This [enroute] is ideal for the passenger navigator while "en-route" to a cache or other destination! Its a beautiful thing! Quote Link to comment
