Riding without autorouting function

[shivia]

Hello, can I navigate on my pre-programmed route without using the autorouting function? I just want to see the "colored route" only. Another words, I do not need the turn-by-turn pop-up screen. If yes, how can I set for it? thanks for your help.

You san set up a route using map software on your computer and transfer that to your GPS.

 

Instead of Turn by turn it's waypoint by waypoint so you have to place your waypoints intelligently.

You don't say what gps you are using, but with the auto-routing Garmins, you can turn off the Next Turn Pop-Up. Is that what you want?

For most Garmin handhelds, from the main menu, Setup - Routing - Next Turn Pop-up - Off.

Turn your route into a track. You will have a path to follow in any one of several colours. There will be no autorouting at all. As a bonus you can turn several routes into tracks and all tracks will show on the GPSr screen at once instead of just one route.

I forgot to mention that is Garmin 60csx. Thanks all of you. I'll try these settings. Because I've many topo's maps in background, so they slow-slow down my autorouting turn-by-turn-function. I`ll use only zoom-in function enough to see my next turns in lieu of turn pop-up menu screen.

- good idea. How can I do it, turning my route into track? Thanks.

Go to this site: www.softsolutions.be/GPS/Garmin/wingdb.htm It is a Dutch? site and you can't read anything, well at least I couldn't, you've got it made if your Dutch. Don't worry just click on the WinGDB 1.1 link which I think is highlighted, if not you'll see it on this page anyways. Download it, in its folder you'll see a wingdb.exe file, click on it and click on "run" in to next two windows that come up and the "route/track" conversion window opens which is all in English.

I have some tracks converted from my route's files. How can I navigate using these tracks on 60CSX? thanks.
