+Hokers Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 (edited) Help. I bought this unit mostly for geocaching and hiking, but also because it is supposed to function as a decent route navigator. No matter how I try to get it to caculate a turn by turn route I get a message that there are no roads near the starting point. Even if I am in the car and on a road. I updated to the beta software and that made no difference. Help... Edited May 4, 2008 by Hokers Quote Link to comment

+Hokers Posted May 4, 2008 Author Share Posted May 4, 2008 Just the preloaded maps. Do I need to purchace an additional map? Quote Link to comment
Motorcycle_Mama Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Yes, you need detail street maps for turn by turn directions. From Garmin's website https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=11022 "Just insert a MapSource card with detailed street maps, and Colorado provides turn-by-turn directions to your destination." AND https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=11022#specsTab "Automatic routing (turn by turn routing on roads): yes (with optional mapping for detailed roads)" Quote Link to comment
+Hokers Posted May 4, 2008 Author Share Posted May 4, 2008 Thanks, I was starting to suspect that. As if the unit did not cost enough already... Quote Link to comment
