NW Topos - how to use

[SmugWimp]

Although there isn't an actual setting to turn on or off the 'lock/unlock' on the Nuvi, the Nuvi's won't 'snap' to the road if you use a different mode (i.e. Pedestrian). I sometimes do that to see how far off I actually am from where I 'think' the road should be in some of my map development...

At least, with 1390/1450/1490s.

Cheers!

I've loaded and enabled NW Topos on the Garmin Montana. Suppose I want to hike the Comet Falls trail on Mt Rainier - can someone walk me thru how I'd access and use the maps and trail info? Thanks!

My experience is that when I'm about 100 feet up the wrong trail with a routable trail map any of my GPSrs starts to nag me to U-turn until I either acquiesce or continue far enough so that it finds a shorter way to my specified end point.

Thanks, I wondered if they'd be accurate enough for that, on a parallel trail. Guess it might be worth purchasing Garmin's routable 24k maps after all...

Ok, thanks, I'll take it up over there.
