+david.travis Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I recently purchased a Nuvi 855. From the description in the owner's manual, it appears that there is a way to create a route in Mapsource and then copy it over to the Nuvi. What steps are required to copy the route from Mapsource to the Nuvi? Any help will be appreciated. Quote Link to comment
Motorcycle_Mama Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Create the route in MapSource. Connect the GPS unit with the USB cable and allow it to go into USB Mass Storage Mode. Click the "Send to Device" button in MapSource. Wait for the data to send. Disconnect the GPS unit from the computer. Allow it to start back up. Go to User Data on the GPS unit. Import the Route.

Yep. That worked! THANKS!! Quote Link to comment
+Redwoods Mtn Biker Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Note that routes created in MapSource may not function the same way on the nuvi. In other words, you'll go by each stop, in order, but the nuvi may take different roads to get there than what you saw in MapSource. Here's why... http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php...p;#entry3575536 Quote Link to comment
