The following lists of changes are based on information provided by GARMIN. If you save it to My Maps, it doesn't seem to want to let you edit it. If you want to edit the route I did in #1, I turned on the Collaborate feature, but I don't see that it worked. Export that to GPX, convert that to KML, import that into Google Maps, right-click on the line and turn on Snap to roads. In MapSource, turn off auto-recalculation, then add and delete a waypoint, so you get a point-to-point straight-line route in MapSource. And, the alignment of the line and the waypoints changes as you zoom in and out, so you have to zoom way in to get the line to align with the points.Ģ. It's something of a pain, as Google Maps won't let you click on the waypoints to create the line - you have to create the line, then drag the vertices of the line onto the waypoints. Delete the route lines in Google Maps and make your own route using the line tool. So here's a couple ways that might work:ġ. That overloads Google Maps and it tries to break it into lots of short segments. When you import a route from MapSource, it's importing every little turn in the road essentially as a waypoint in Google Maps. Mmmm kay, now I understand what's going on. This is one I was able to put together that way: Another option is to turn on or off Snap to roads, which switches between auto-routing and point-to-point routing. Then you can add intermediate points by clicking on the route, which puts a waypoint on the new route, and dragging and dropping it on one of your existing waypoints.Īlso if you right click on the new route, it gives you the option Add a point, which allows you to add a waypoint. You can click the start and end points, then click then end point again. If you lick on the arrow on the right of the tool, one of the drop-down options is "Draw a line along roads". If you go into My Maps, Edit mode, a drawing tool appears with a squiggly line. What you might want to do is use the points you uploaded and just create a new route in Google Maps. This is one I was able to do in one piece: Google Maps does have problems at some number of points, at when you reach that number, it gets hopelessly fouled up. in Mapsource under Preferences -> Routing there is a setting to select either 'Use Auto-Routing' or 'Use Direct Route.' You might want to check that this is set correctly. Mark, one thing to check on the new computer if you have verified that both it and the GPS are using the same version of City Navigator. that is a mandatory condition for transferring routes made on the computer to the unit if you want it to display properly. the same year versions of City Navigator). This is true if, as noted in previous posts, the map databases used by Mapsource and the GPS unit are identical (i.e. (However if you change or modify anything while enroute then the unit will recalculate, of course.) If you prefer to have the route exactly as it appeared in Mapsource and not worry about whether the unit may calculate it a bit differently just turn off automatic recalculation in the unit. The route is calculated before it is sent to the unit and is recalculated by the unit only if you have the unit set for automatic recalculation. In fact you may end up with a slightly different route than the one you carefully planned because the device may have slightly different calculating rules. The Device does not actually calculate the route until you call it up.
