Auto Routing City Select With 60cs

[Erskine]

Okay, I've got a new challenge I haven't seen explained on this forum:

Okay, it's not for Geocaching this time... it's for my motorcycle. Here's the issue. I painstakingly plan a route finding all sorts of quiet roads on my computer using City Select 5.0. I then transfer this route to my 60CS running version 3.5. Now on the GPS, select route, select the ride, it then re-calculates the route! I don't want it to! I have set the routing settings on the GPS to avoid highways, still doesn't work (sometimes it avoids them, sometimes it doesn't). So....

 

Is there a way to export a route planed in City select from my computer to the 60CS WITHOUT allowing the gps to recalculate the route?

 

I know the GPS is trying to be helpful, and I normally LOVE this auto calculation feature. But how do you stop too much of a good thing?

I think what you have to do Erskine is to create additional waypoints (viapoints) along your route which then "forces" the 60 to autoroute along the route of your choosing.

 

Cheers, Olar

Thanks for the reply Olar. Since my post, I tried just that. You're right. It works, although it's one more step to take... but the results are worth it.

 

Thanks for replying!
