Hi,
I am new to the GPS and have Garmin City Navigator on a micro SD card. No trouble accessing or using the maps. The trouble starts when I ask it to actually navigate somewhere. I began naturally enough by putting in a route I know well.
After planning my start and finish points, I then choose "automobile navigation", I am given the choice of minimise time or minimise distance. No matter which option I choose, it sends me the long way (sometimes with loops!) off main highways and expressways, along dirt roads and the direction I would choose if going the scenic way. It reaches the destination eventually.
Am I doing something wrong? I have experimented now with a number of destinations and even put in points along the way on the highway to keep it on track but it still finds its way the wrong way! I really don't trust it at all now to show me the way in unfamiliar territory. Any solutions gratefully accepted. I have tried disabling the pre installed worldwide basemap and it makes no difference.
