nuvi waypoints offroad usage
Posted: Sun May 08, 2011 1:25 pm
Hi all,
just for garmin nuvi owners..
today having a play on mapsorce i changed the preference in the tools from road navigation to straight line...
did a quick route on hugys o/s mapping web site then transfered to mapsource with gpx file, used loads of waypoints at junctions off road and normal stuff on road.
now uploaded to satnav and on road its as usual but when going off road changed satnav to offroad mode and it did not direct as usual[all around the main roads ] but showed a line to follow from waypoint to waypoint and was very good if a little[15ft] off due to o/s and garmin stuff...
so I`m a happy bunny again and saved a few bob .. buttake the map along for camparison.
let me know how you all get on.
