Nuvi 55 not following Basecamp route.

Former Member over 9 years ago

I don't get it, my Nuvi 55 worked flawlessly for about a year. I just did a new route in Basecamp, loaded it to the gps, and it sent me completely off course in 2 different spots. If you look at the "map" view, it's the route I planned. But the directions are a whole different animal. Any suggestions?

Perhaps Sussamb is referring to the Nuvi 55/56 Setting Avoidances that only appear during Routing. By touching the three bar icon in the lower right corner with a route in progress, it is possible to select "Detour by Road (name)" after selecting the "Change Route" Icon.

However, in the USA the default U-Turn feature calling for an undesired left turn would still be my prime suspect for passenger or driver panic.

How do I perform the master reset in case this things doesn't work tomorrow? BTW, thanx much for ALL the help!

I've scrapped the problem route + completely revised it. I'll find out if the new route works Sat when I'm scheduled to lead that ride.

You could always run it in simulation mode to check it out before Saturday :)

Suggest that you set Navigation>>Toll Roads to "Always Ask" on the Nuvi 55/56 for locations such as rural West Virginia or Pennsylvania. Then decline to use the Toll Road upon arrival. Otherwise the routing may not work in a reasonable manner.
