Too many waypoints, Garmin nuvi2597 splits up route.

Former Member over 11 years ago

My first Sat Nav. I'm trying to do some stuff and its not easy.

I would like to be able to plan a route using google maps. I have done so and them imported to Tyre and then imported to Basecamp and then sent to device.....wow this is complicated. It's not a long route, 160 miles. However, the Garmin doesn't like it at all and insists on splitting the route into 10 different trips.

Is there a straightforward way of doing this? Is it possible to save such a route? I wouldn't have thought that 160miles is such a long route to have to deal with.

Can someone with some Sat Nav experience pleas offer some tips.

The problem is that the newer nuvis don't do 'routes'. They use something called 'trip planner'. Trip planner is a collection of routes that create a 'trip', so what you're seeing is the way trip planner has created the trip from your 'route'.

Thanks Sussamb. Not quite sure what you mean. However, I sacked off Google maps and Tyre and find I can do all the planning with Basecamp, although it is a bit slow and sometimes has a mind of its own. I'm getting the hang of it though.

Cheers.
