|
|
Hi All,
I have the 255WT and I can transfer routes or journeys I have made to Mapsource but cannot send routes and waypoints from Mapsource to the 255.
I have a SD card in the 255 and I can find the transfered file, it is downloaded as a GPX file, as the device was given to me I don't have a manual but have looked on the Garmin website but it doesn't give a clear answer to the question if the 255 can download as well as upload journeys to Mapsource, so I would be grateful if another owner of the 255 could answer the question.
Kind regards
James. |

Thanks Sussamb for the quick reply, oh well got it for nowt so shouldn't expect a bells and whistles unit...its easy enough to work out a route on the 255 itself and store it in favourites.
kind regards

Yes, but you're not storing the route, just the waypoints. FYI mapsource WILL send waypoints to your nuvi and they too will appear as favourites |
