We just purchased the Oregon 450t. It came with the Topo 100K map. My husband is trying to do a very basic route. Profile set to Hiking, Lock on Roads is Off. He picks a point about 4 miles from our house, set a Waypoint, and says Go, we choose Minimize Time, and we get the error: Route Calculation Error. Maps do not have routable roads in this area. Now I understand that the Topo 100K is a non-routable map, but is it not possible to have the unit just come up with a direct route for hiking?
Next issue is that when we try to do a Where to?, Address, I type in Ohio and it says No Results Found. Try adjusting search parameters. The Topo 100K is the map that is enabled. So I am trying to find a local town about 25 miles from here and it appears that the unit doesn't even recognize Ohio. Is there something wrong with the GPS or are we missing something?
Next, current location is saved as Home, he creates a Waypoint anywhere and try to Go, it gives the same error. What we really want is to use for hiking. How do we connect waypoints? We don't need roads, just a hiking route.
Just trying to determine if this is how the unit functions or if the unit is bad. This is a refurbished unit. Thanks for any insight you can provide.
