Idiots guide to using a Sat Nav !!!!!!!!!!! help.
Discussion
Help, due to my sons refusal to accept that technology occasionally breaks, how can I download a pre-planned route off Google Maps to my Garmin Streetpilot c550
via my iMac, that way I can decide the better route home from Uni to Norfolk (and not the SN that takes him almost around the planet the wrong way !!!!!) I need it in layman's terms
as my total IT skills are > turn it off -----then turn it back on again !

AFAIK, for a C550, you need to download the Google Maps file, then convert it something that Mapsource can handle, then load it into Mapsource and finally transfer the route from Mapsource onto the C550.
Probably easier to just set your own via points directly on the C550 to force the route that you want.

Solve the problem, not the symptom. "Accidentally" forget the satnav, spot a supermarket petrol station, spend £1.99 - and ask him to navigate...
Its his own car, so most of the time he,s travelling by himself, and when he gets lost he can't tell me where he is so I can guide him home, but at the end of the daykids and wives will always know more than there dads and husbands, !!!!!!!!
