Hi,
I have used the viamichelin route planner to get a direction from A-B
This will help me follow the michelin map I bought recently.
I used the POI loader to load the saved route into my Garmin nuvi 250 and the final message said that it was done successfully.
Question:
Not sure where in my Garmin to find this route and how to use it.
Any suggestions please?
p.s. I will try to do the same thing for my other destinations.
Thanks

Sorry but the Nuvi 250 doesn't support routes so i'm not sure how you would get this to work.

Are you sure?
I was told otherwise.
I will check again.
Thank you

Garmins website shows that the 250 doesn't support routes.

On my Nuvi 760 (which does support routes) to load a route you need to go to Tools, My Data, Import Routes and then the routes appear under Tools, Routes.

Yes, you are right.
I do not see import routes in my garmin 250.

So, how can I adjust my Garmin to show similar route to that on the Michelin map please?
Thank you

If you set up enough favourites you could try and force a route the same way. Garmin states for the 250

the 200 can only have a single via-point. form memory the 250 is the same unit but with EU maps so i doubt this will be possible unless you do it very manually! ie add each waypoint as a favourite and give them a number for their name - then navigate to #1 and when you arrive then set to navigate to #2 etc...

I have bought the michelin map of France and using their site, I have come up with a route from A to B.
The criteria set when deciding on a route using the viamichelin.co.uk is as follows:

Favour motorways: yes
Avoid tolls: No
Avoid Congestion Charge Zones: yes
Avoid off-road connections (ferry, train etc): No
Allow Border Crossings: yes

What kind of settings do I need to set in my Garmin? i.e. fastest or shortest, etc?
Thank you
