Re: Garmin RV 760LMT
Does the Rand McNally let you hit "skip" once you have missed a stop, or via point? If it does, I missed that when I was looking at units.
On the 2979, you can build a route on the unit, but it...

Re: Garmin RV 760LMT
So let me get this straight. You can bash all electronics not Apple, which you do regularly, and did here, even though I had said that I only wondered about if other brands of tablets would do...

Re: Garmin RV 760LMT
"My 855 will do that. Simply turn it off while detouring, but if we pass a waypoint or via point while it's off, it usually tries to get us to turn around to go to the missed stop, until I kill the...

Re: Garmin RV 760LMT
Were you sitting on booster's couch when you last used your iToy's GPS functions to get a satellite lock? Maybe you'd have similarly poor results? :lol:[/quote]
I can assure you he wasn't here--I...

Re: Garmin RV 760LMT
I did a closer look into the detour function to see if it would do as you wanted. IIRC you would like to be able to hit "pause" or another button to kind of freeze the unit in place while you go off...

Re: Garmin RV 760LMT
I don't know if your Garmin has a "detour" feature, but if it does, that may take care of what you need, as long as there isn't a waypoint you miss. I haven't played with it yet, but it looks like...

Re: Garmin RV 760LMT
I have been getting a little deeper into how well, or poorly, the 2797 works under real world trip usage. Using the gps to enter the trip is pretty tedious, as expected, with the smallish screen and...

Re: Garmin RV 760LMT
I am still very new to this, but I will try to answer. Yes, you can do the route completely on the laptop and then transfer it to the GPS. Only takes a minute to do. You can also store the file on...

Re: Garmin RV 760LMT
I figured I would bring this one back up, as we just got a Garmin 2797LMT. Received it Friday from GPS City. I had sent them a question about whether or not you could skip waypoints, without...

Re: Garmin RV 760LMT
Has anyone tried the Basecamp trip planning software from Garmin? Apparently, it replaces the Mapsource that they have had for a long time, often charging a whole bunch for it IIRC. They claim you...
