Where is my map?

Former Member over 12 years ago

Hi Everyone,
I have watched several YouTube videos and I successfully created my route in Google Maps, brought it into Basecamp and exported it to my nuvi 2595LMT. Well I think it went to the device. I don't know where to find it when I start the unit. Can someone give me a hint?
Thanks
Pat

I'm a little confused. Your post title is "Where is my map?" yet you talk about a route.

Now with some devices (not the 2595LMT) you can create custom maps and put those in the unit. Doesn't sound like that's what you're asking about. I assume therefore you mean routes.

The 2595LMT doesn't support "routes" in the classic Garmin sense. Routes from BaseCamp are converted. by the unit, into trips. Thus to find your route you need to look in the Trip Planner in your device.

I guess it's a route then.
When I go to Trip Planner my only option is to create a new trip.
Thanks

If you've sent a route to a nuvi that uses trip planner it will be converted to a trip and appear in 'Unscheduled trips'. Here's the text from Garmin's FAQ:

How do I access routes transferred from the computer on a nuvi, LIVE, dezl, or zumo device?

Routes can be created on the computer in programs such as MapSource, BaseCamp, RoadTrip, or MapQuest, and then transferred to certain models of nuvi, LIVE, dezl, or zumo devices. Once the created routes have been transferred, you may access them on the device.

To access a transferred route in a zumo 350, dezl series, LIVE series, or nuvi 2400, 2405, 2505, 3400, 3500, or 3700 series device:

1.Touch Apps
◦Touch Tools on the dezl 560 series
2.Touch Trip Planner
3.Allow time for the device to automatically import the trip/route
These Trip Planner devices will take several minutes to automatically import trips into the Trip Planner. The import will automatically begin, but no message will appear on the device indicating that the import is happening. Once the import is complete, all transferred routes will be displayed under a category called Unscheduled Trips in the Trip Planner.1 Until the trips show up in Trip Planner, please do not turn off the device or connect it to a computer.

*Please note: When routes are imported to your Garmin device, the route may change due to navigation settings within your device.

1 Units that create routes using Trip Planner cannot send routes to MapSource or BaseCamp. However, units that utilize Trip Planner will be able to receive routes from BaseCamp and MapSource

Thanks. I Went to Trip Planner and it has been sitting here for about 10 minutes but not bringing up my route. :confused:
I'll try again when I get home from work.
Thanks

FYI here's some tutorial videos on using BaseCamp. You might try transferring your route again.
