Howto simulate remote routes?
Posted: Tue Apr 27, 2010 8:45 pm
There is a feature in nuvi 1460 to setup routes but there is no way to simulate the route in your home location if it is a different start point. Even a stored route cannot be simulated, if start point is not home. This is a serious shortcoming.
Suppose I want to know ahead how to drive from A to B (could be in a different country). The GO button simulation (with GPS turned off) works only if A is GPS-fixated. Am I missing something here?
What is the purpose of stored route? I thot it is to save a frequent route which is customized (waypoints, nonoptimal, etc). But if I stored an A-B route how do I tell the device to use the stored route rather than its devised route.
Garmin - are u listening?
