+Crusso Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 (edited) I just downloaded nRoute and was wondering if anyone else was using it? I have a laptop in my Jeep connected to my Garmin V and running Mapsource. From what I can see, nRoute works with MapSource's maps but as a stand alone program. The voice prompts are cool but the biggest feature I can see is that I can run one route on my V while I run another on the laptop. Also, I don't know if it's just me but routing calculations in nRoute seems to be much faster than in the V. Anyone else have any other hints/pointers on nRoute?

+Sputnik 57 Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 I've loaded it on my laptop and hooked it up to my 60C, but haven't really used it much. It looks like it would turn a Yellow Etrex into a autorouting big screen mapping GPSr if you don't mind toting a laptop around (which, in the car, is no big deal). Of course, you have to have Metroguide 4 or CS6 to do the routing on, but NRoute itself is free. Quote Link to comment
peter Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 I've used it with my eMap connected to a laptop. Defintely a nice addition since the eMap doesn't support auto-routing by itself and having the voice prompts for turns is an added bonus. Quote Link to comment
MIQ_WRX Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 I like the amount of data you can display on the different screens. Hadn't tried two different routes at once. Cool. -MIQ Quote Link to comment
+Joe Smith Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 I used it right before I got the 60cs. How come nobody told me about it sooner? The voice prompts are VERY loud, and the route will calculate alot faster because of the processing power of your PC. The downside, you have to bring your laptop. And I hate bring it along because I spill stuff on it. Joe Smith Quote Link to comment

+jotne Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I did a test with nRoute 2.1 with both City Select 6 and MetroGuide 6 Europe, and both works with the progam, but!!! only CS givs me AutoRouting wirh voice guide. So there is no AutotRouting wirh MG Europe. Quote Link to comment
