[QUOTE="rbentnail, post: 1233191, member: 13598"] Yep. I've made several in fact. With the amount of clutter on the map, what with way pts & markers & bubbles upon bubbles popping up, and trying to make it the way I want it, what I've learned is that it's a royal PITA. The file system is to me mind boggling- I simply cannot get my head around it. I am constantly changing a route or waypt or something that I don't want to change. Or adding something. Or moving something. And without a way/shaping/via pt every 2 miles or so my gps will change the route. It took me more than 2 hrs to make a "simple" route to Danville, VA & get it on my gps without change. That's less than 70 miles from my house fer crissake! Then the [B]real[/B] fun begins. My gps screen is changed, and not for the better. In the top center I used to have the instruction. You know, in the green bar across the top. Now I have nothing, just a blank green bar. Used to be I could touch the green bar and I'd get turn by turn instructions with distances. Now I get nothing, just a blank screen. In the bottom right I used to have some directional thing telling me how far to the next turn, via pt, etc. Now I got arrow. That's it, like somewhere up ahead be it 100 yds or 100 miles I'm going to bear right at a fork. WTF? And every 30 secs or so my entire map section is grayed out with a message saying "Approaching". That's it- "Approaching". Not [I]what [/I]I'm approaching, just "Approaching". And this is constant- it never stops. I had the smarts to write down the address of my destination so when I got to Danville I'd stop and get a city map. Damn good thing I haven't lost the skill to read a map! But I didn't need to- I manually entered the address on the gps when I got into town and it got me there. How anyone thinks this POS mapping "system" is functional is beyond me!! It's made my gps into an unsightly useless ornament. And whatever happened to the OP? I PM'd, and he's been logged in since I PM'd, but crickets, nothing from him. NOTHING! Anyone anywhere heard back from this guy? [/QUOTE]
