Garmin nuvi 200
I would like to choose the way I want to go but it will only do it's own thing either on motorways or if I choose non motorways. Can I drag the route like I can on google maps?
Or can I even download a route from Google?
Cheers. _________________ BaZa ® |

I believe you can create a route using Mapsource on a PC, that's one option.
They're designed to get you to a destination so few allow route customisation such as you require. TomTom have an option called itinerary that allows you to create a 'route' of way-points but even there, the actual route between your way-points is decided by the software. _________________ Darren Griffin |

Thanks for the response I have given it a via point and when I get there I have saved another two places as favs' so I am now going the way I wanted to.

nuvi 200 doesn't support routes uploaded by user, so adding extra 'via' points is probably the best option. |
