Idaho Ron Posted April 25, 2003 Posted April 25, 2003 I have Topo and Roads and Rec. I was trying to look up on my computer the points of intrest. I know I can do it with my gps but I was wondering if I could do the same with my lap top? All it will let me look up is towns. Ron Quote
peter Posted April 25, 2003 Posted April 25, 2003 AFAIK that's all you can search for with those mapsets on the PC. MetroGuide has more search options. Quote
Idaho Ron Posted April 25, 2003 Author Posted April 25, 2003 When I look up points of intrest in my GPS I get lots of them. Man made, Waterfalls, cemeteries, beaches, camp grounds. Shouldn't I be able to see those points of intrest in my computer? I would think they would have to be loaded from the softwear some how. Ron Quote
+aka Monkey Posted April 26, 2003 Posted April 26, 2003 Once you've installed the Roads and Rec CD on your computer, you should be able to search. Just make sure in MaspSource that you've told it to use to the proper map set (Roads and Rec). Quote
+SpongeRob Posted April 29, 2003 Posted April 29, 2003 Ron, I wanted to do the same thing. Bottom line you can't. You can search if you know the name of something but you can't search if you want to look for like "Resturants" in the area in Mapsource. I complained to Garmin about it, they basically brushed me off. -- SpongeRob rwmech@keenpeople.com www.keenpeople.com WPWU826 Cache'n Retrievers Quote
Idaho Ron Posted April 29, 2003 Author Posted April 29, 2003 That is what I am talking about. I wanted to look up a camp ground in either roads and rec or topo. I could not find a way to look up stuff besides cities. Ron Quote
