One for fine weather which would typically take me the 'scenic' route, the other is for when the weather is not so good and I just want to 'get there'. Recalculationg is much faster, and adding routepoints or waypoints is really easy. It's very easy to get the route to follow the roads you want rather than the rather crude Shortest/Fastest option on the unit itself.
I use it for all my European trips as I can plan where to have coffee/fuel stops, where to deviate from main roads, and generally have total control over my trip.
#GARMIN MAPSOURCE PC#
MapSource is great for sitting at your PC and planning routes. I have some mapsource discs from ab old GPS unit (EMAP) - is it worth keeping? My nuvi has the europe maps already installed so was wondering what benefits there is of mapsource ? You just import the ones you need for immediate use, the others remain on long term storage ready to be called upon when required (having deleted routes in the GPS mapping area to make room for them). Here you set your home location, view pictures as well as importing data (routes and/or waypoints and/or trip logs) and managing the Trip Log.Īlthough the units may not appear to hold as many routes as you think you might want, the storage card/unit memory can hold many more. On the Zumo this is done via the "User Data" icon. Step two is to import the routes into the GPS mapping portion of the unit itself. This just puts them in a storage area on the unit, but not visible to the GPS function. Step one (which you seem to have done) is to copy the files to the unit (I tend to put the routes onto a memory card, and then plug that into the Zumo). Which Garmin unit do you have? I have a Zumo, and getting routes into it is a two stage afair. Which folder or icon does it go into to retrieve it? Hi have tried planing a route on Mapsource then sent it to GPS but cant find it anyware.
