Thanks for all the info...much appreciated!

I see...I guess I can do that then...I know the area that I'm visiting reasonably well so it could still be handy for finding my way home.

What exactly does routable mean then? That it can find the way between two points but you have to define the two points?

I downloaded a routable map from http://garmin.na1400.info/routable.php and I have it working on my satnav...only thing is I get the same error "No map data available" when I try to put in an address.

Is my underatanding of "routable" incorrect...I kinda thought it would mean that I could put in an address and be routed to it? Or have I the wrong end of the stick?

Good point about it being cheaper to buy another satnav...how nuts is that! :-)

Bummer...I'm a big fan of Open Source type stuff. Seems a shame to have to shell out almost the price of the satnav all over again, use the map for two weeks and then have to pay again for an update next time I go over. Darn!

Thanks for your input...much appreciated.

Fair play, that worked a treat...I can see why you're a Hero Member!

If I could ask another question...what options do I have if I want a map that can route? Is it gonna cost me money?

Thanks again,

David

Hello all!

Newbie here with a Garmin nuvi 1310.

I downloaded IbycusUSA20.exe and ibycususa_2.01_update.exe. I was able to see the USA map in Mapsource and using the tutorial here I was able to send the map to an SD card.

When I start my Garmin, I see ibycususa listed with a NOT FOR SALE message. Also, when I go into the settings section I can select the ibycususa map (the Garmin was supplied with Ireland and UK maps).

Unfortunately, having selected ibycususa as the map to use, when I try to enter an address and change the country from Ireland to United States, the only option starting with U is United Kingdom.

I'm travelling to California next week and I was really hoping to be able to use the Garmin over there.

Any ideas why it's not using the map...I'll be totally happy if it turns out I'm a spaz!

Cheers,

David
