Uploading routes to a 2460

Former Member over 13 years ago

I have a new 2460 and when I did my first map update, I clicked on options or something other than "next or continue" and it offered me 3 choices, GPS, GPS and Computer, Computer only. I selected GPS and Computer. I already had MapSource from an old StreetPilot 2610. If you don't have MapSource, go to the Garmin Training Center and download it first. I did the same on my notebook and only selected "Computer" but the GPS has to be hooked up so the map will be unlocked.
It all merged perfect, but took about 3 hours. I have been able to upload routes and waypoints from my computer to the 2460 but it limited me to 3 routes. After that, if you try to upload a 4th, when you go to trip planner, you get the "hourglass" that never goes away.
I am going to buy a microSD card to see if I can upload to it and the GPS will work with more than 3 routes.

Anyone with other ideas, please let me know.
I am spoiled since I have done everything on my computer since 2003 using MapSource and have about 150 routes saved and I would load 10-15 to my 2610 each time I was gong to be in a certain area.

Evidently there are some issues with the way the 2400 series handles routes - see this: http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=139205

Can't start route within Trip Planner

Hi All, first post. I just bought a 2460LMT and love the capability, but I've had some trouble with initial usability. Last week I organized a multi stop trip within Trip Planner and enjoyed the optimized driving route. This weekend I've been trying to organize a different trip to a different area of the State, also with multiple stops, and I cannot get to a point to start the trip, or GO, or whatever command commences the route guidance. Quite simply, I just can't find the button that does it, and I don't remember what I did last weekend (I deleted that trip btw). I tried voice command, and still no luck. Any idea what I'm missing?

TIA,
Robert

How about Where To > Routes?

Thanks for the quick reply. I don't have that as an option past the main page. My entries have been:
-Where To?
-Trip Planner
-"+"
-Select Start Location
-Where I am now
-Select
-"+"
-I enter the address
-Select
I then repeat the process until all of my stops are in place and then there is not an option to "Continue", "Done", or "Go"

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Robert
