Distance instead of time of arrival
|
|
| Kent McPherson 2007-06-14, 10:33 am |
| When I choose a destination in my nuvi 660 and press Go, it shows me in the
lower left corner my estimated time of arrival. If I touch that, it brings
up a screen that shows my remaining distance among other things. I'd like
the map to show my remaining distance instead of time of arrival. I didn't
see that in the manual. Is this possible or do I need to submit a new
feature request?

My Nuvi 680 will be arrived 2morrow then I may be able to learn more =
about
newer Garmin, but base on my older Garmin StreetPilot it goes something =
like
Example you set a 1000 miles trip
- The GPS will divide the whole 1000 miles into smaller sections (usually
between cities).
- I may misunderstood the info, but few days ago I read the info of Nuvi =
680
(I also posted the link HERE) and it mentions that Nuvi 680 has a feature
called something like "Trip Plan" or something that displays the detailed
information looks so similar to MapSource display. It shows turn_by_turn
and all detailed information of TIMEs and DISTANCEs between cities and =
the
whole plan.
- Base on my old Garmin, it displays *both* TIME and DISTANCE to the =
nearest
point (city, exit, turn etc.)
