Garmin Nuvi 2569 Can I plan a route on PC & import it?

[bignige]

Hi I have just bought a Nuvi 2569 and think I've failed completely to do buy the right thing.

I want to be able to plan routes on a pc & import them to the sat nav, is this possible please & if so how??

Absolutely no instructions with the product. any help much appreciated.

Thanks

Yep you can. First download Garmin's Basecamp program. Once you've done that this is a useful guide, which although it applies to the Zumo range will also help with your nuvi

Come back for more help if needed

P.S. You haven't bought the wrong thing, your nuvi will do what you need but like any device you need to learn how to use it.

Thank you very much for the help & pointers

With my tom tom rider I used a programme called tyre, which is dead easy to use.
I wrongly thought it could be used the same way with Garmin.

I am downloading basecamp at the moment and have printed the instructions you pointed me at obviously with a 53 page doc it's a difficult process & will take me a while to get my head around.

A question if I may, where on the Garmin will I find the route itinery Please.

Thanks again, nigel

Trip planner is under Apps on your Garmin.

I've not used tyre but thought it was compatible with Garmin as well as TomTom?
