| Posted by nick99990_0 Waypoints on Nuvi 660 Hello All, Great product firstly! One question though I am interested to know if you can enter waypoints for a defined destination? Strange question you may ask... well occasionally when I enter a destination I get directed through the city (Melbourne) area or a high traffic area when I know that I can go a better way BUT I don't know how to go all the way if you follow me. An example... I need to go to Footscray from Eltham and I am directed to go through a high traffic area (Carlton etc)... the Ring Rd would be a better option but want guidance from the ring rd once I close to the destination. I could just go all the way I know and follow the GPS from there I suppose... Anyway interested to hear feedback. Regards, Nick. |
| Posted by dor Hi I have the same model and I am in Melbourne as well so what I do is drive there the way I want to then let it take me the last bit...maybe not the right way but it works..I have lots of other questions so I will post them one day when I get time |
| Posted by Nuvi_Boy Nuvi 660 You can select a via point and the Nuvi will guide you to your destination via that point. In that way you can direct the Nuvi to go a particular way. Just call up your destination in the usual way, then after it has calculated the route, call up another address/suburb/waypoint/intersection as your via point. It will then ask if you want to travel to your destination via this new point. |
| Posted by T.S. Nuvi 660 Waypoints You can only put in one waypoint per route. I queried this with Garmin, but so far have had no reply. |
| Posted by bono2032 turn off highways As you suggested, drive as far as you can via the alternative route and let garmin help you from there. that's easier. What I also do on mine now is to turn off highways, so that it will not direct me to the highway by default. now I learn new byways and passages I didn't knew existed, even around my area. can't wait till they ditch the whereis maps. its hopeless. |
