City Navigator or OS GB

Former Member over 9 years ago

I'm afraid this is a bit of a mix of BC and GPS map usage advice I am seeking here - not pure BC

I have a GPSMap 64s, with OS GB 1:50k maps loaded. I also have a Nuvi 2599 for the car.

I have not been very successful at creating road cycling routes using OS GB 1:50k loaded in BC, that make much sense on the GPSMap unit, even when selecting "Cycling" as the activity profile. Would I be better creating a road cycling route using the City Navigator maps (on the Nuvi), saving as a route and then loading on to the GPSmap, and using the "Automotive Mode" from the setup / map menu on the GPSMap? Would the "automotive Mode" make direction changes at junctions much clearer?

Thanks

Not really since the OS map isn't routeable. However underlying it is a CN map so you are already using it without perhaps realising.

OK. Thanks. I'll keep playing with BC and the GPSMap until I have got something that works sensibly for me.
