How to preview a route (Nuvi 350)?
|
|
| John Richards 2006-10-19, 4:33 am |
| I just purchased my first GPS, a Nuvi 350, and am learning how
to use it. One thing I haven't figured out: After inputting a
destination and having it plot the route, how can I review the
route so I can ensure it has picked my preferred routing?
I understand that the routing can be modified by entering
an intermediate stop, but how would I know that I need to
do that?

| Never mind, found it.
It's called Current Route Page. Not a very intuitive name,
which is why I missed it the first time around.

On the handhelds, the Current Route (Active Route?) page does not show
up unless you have activated a route and have that page selected to be
displayed Page Setup menu. Not sure how much of that would be the same
on the nuvi but you might try activating a route and see if it shows up.

| I just touch anywhere on the screen in map view and it changes from 3D
view to an overhead view, then you can zoom in and out and drag the map
with your finger to move along the route. Also, when you're in the 3D
map view, you can touch the very top of the screen where it displays
the road you're on, and it will show you turn by turn directions with
street names.

| After the Nuvi has calculated a route and is showing you
the starting map, touch the green text bar at the top.
This will bring up a list of all the turns.
