Author Hiding Waypoints
Mark

I have a significant number of speed cameras saved as waypoints on the 2610.
Clearly I don't need to list them in the menu as I'm not likely to route to
them or via them. Is there a way to "hide" the waypoints from the menu so
that they just appear on the map?

Or an alternative is to have one entry in the menu but multiple locations on
the map?

Somehow I think I know the answer to this one! Aren't there any 2610 hackers
out there!

Use the speed camera map that someone posted about a week ago...

At least if you do route via the cameras they show up with a warning.
Otherwise you miss them (but they don't miss you!) if you are not
glued to your screen.

My BMW Navigator ll on my bike (virtually the same as the 2610) is
clogged with speed camera waypoints. I wish there was some way to put
these on the memory card rather than in the GPS memory. 500 waypoints
just isn't enough!

Excellent - thanks.

Are there any other "transparent" maps with other POI's on?

Not too sure... there was one with world heritage sites listed (possibly
just a set of waypoints ?) but it didn`t strike me as being too useful
for my present needs.
