Hi Bob, Is the route planning in the GPS itself or is it in the PC software that comes with it, or did you use third party route planning software.? What did you have to do to get it to plan routes without using interstates? > [Original Message] > From: Bob Denton <bob_at_sinkthestink.com> > To: Bob Denton <bob_at_sinkthestink.com>; <mjamja_at_earthlink.net>; <paddlewise_at_paddlewise.net> > Date: 5/29/2005 12:53:48 > Subject: RE: [Paddlewise] vehicle for sea kayakers > > I am afraid I underestimated the free time I had available and only paddled > in LA.

I just input my final destination into the GPS (Garmin 60C) and bingo! I also used the GPS to select hotels, resteraunts, kayak shops, fuel stops and wineries. It was essential and has changed the way I travel Cya! -----Original Message----- From: Mark Arnold [mailto:mjamja_at_earthlink.net] Hi Bob, Is the route planning in the GPS itself or is it in the PC software that comes with it, or did you use third party route planning software.?

I did purchase Gamin's City Select and am able to load one or two days driving at a time, with lots of "just in case" coverage. If I leave the loaded area, it takes just a few minutes to upload new coverage. In addition, everything on the GPS is available on the PC software as well. cu *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
