Hi


I am uploaded a route from my home to Ikea. After I uploaded the route. How do I use the route or see a simulation of the route?


thanks..

If it's the same as the 760, it's Menu->Tools->Routes. You should see the route listed. Just click on it and select Start or Run or something like that. I forget the word, but it's obvious. This is all assuming that the 255 menu is similar to the 760.

Can't do routing on the 255. Can only xfer waypoints to the 255 via MapQuest.

Hi

The 255 seem to different then the 760.

Dequardo, how do I access the waypoint?

Also how does one see a list of directions to a certain location instead of the actual time simulatation?


Thanks

Not sure. I just was successful in transferring POIs via Mapquest.

The 255 doesn't support "routes", so you can't generate a route on MapQuest and send it to the 255. The 255 only supports waypoints/favorites/destinations. So you could search for a single address, and then send that address to the GPS, but you can't build a route, and send the entire route.

Thanks guys

As I am a newbie, can you tell me how to add the POI from mapquest?

For example like "1000 Ikea Drive Elizabeth NJ.

The Nuvi instructions are useless.

Thanks

You might find it easier from maps.google.com. Search for the location, click the 'Send' button in the upper right, and select the 'GPS' tab.

Follow the Mapquest 'send to GPS' links.

Google does seem easier then mapquest.

Microsoft Live Maps also supports "Send to GPS".
