Rest Areas Mapping Point

Please make the rest areas mapping point on the entrance ramp to the rest area. Many rest areas have 2 or 3 parking areas (which are shown correctly on the map) and the rest area mapping point is placed in one of the parking areas. If you drive a car, RV or truck will determine which parking area you use. If it is not the one the mapping point is in, the Garmin GPS Unit thinks you have missed your intermecdiate stop. It then tries to route you back to it instead of continuing on with your trip. You then have to delete this intemeciate stop to get the Gamin to continue on the planned trip. (Not good if you are driving alone) If the mapping point were on the entrance ramp the GPS device would know you made the point no matter which of the parkning areas you used. Note: I do relocate the rest area mapping points on all my routes using the "Move Point" tool.
