garmin nuvi 350...possible to make a loop trip?

[E21_Ross]

Hi guys,

looking to do a 'random drive' soon, and have plotted loads of way points which i can put in to make sure it gets me to go on the right roads, but it will only let you have 1 via point at a time. is it possible to get it to have all of them at once? i can still do the loop...i would just have to say get to point 2 via point 1; then after getting to point 2, say go to point 4 via point 3 and so on. would be nice if you can plot a route in somehow, like you can do in google maps, then put it onto the nuvi.

anyone know if this is possible?

cheers.

Sorry, I don't believe it is possible. The NUVI won't accept routes from Mapsource, so i doubt it will from Google.

A discussion took place some time ago on GPS Passion: http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/topic.asp?TOPIC...

If you add the via as Favourites, it could work, but not ideal !!

Nope. Big mistake by Garmin only allowing a single waypoint on their low end units. That's why I upgraded from a 360 to a 760, purely for the multiple waypoint ability.

What I do with a multi-waypoint route using a nüvi 660 is to store each route waypoint as a 'favourite'. For example, if I want to go from A to B via 5 waypoints 001 to 005, I enter 'go to B' and then enter 001 as a 'Via Point'. As I approach 001, I press 'go to 002', then 'Replace Current Via Point'.

It takes a little pre-planning, but is really very simple.

One tip - position your 'Via Points' on the road to the next point. Thus if you need to turn at a junction, don't put the 'Via Point' at the junction, put it just after the junction on the correct road towards the next waypoint.

thanks for the replies guys. as i feared...not possible

oh well, i have saved a number of way points and will just say go to 002 via 001. then once having got to 002, go to 004 via 003 and so on.

cheers for your time!
