Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place. Let me know. I just started using my Garmin NUVI 360 and I think I should be able to plot in a route different from the one it chooses (keeps trying to send me back to the route IT would prefer). Is there a place where I can find out how to set a route that I choose myself? I would like to save that route and be able to call it up again. Thanks so much if you can help and SORRY SORRY if this is a nuisance. I won't post again if it is. If you can answer to my e-mail (peterskuce@rogers.com) that would help.

The only thing you can do to influence the chosen route on a Nuvi is to insert a single via point. Some of the other Garmin SatNav ranges allow routes to be preplanned and loaded on to the unit eg Zumo. It is a commonly requested capability so your wish is perfectly reasonable.

No sorry answering by email would reduce the usefulness of forums to just about zero. Ask here, receive answers here, which can be shared by everyone.

You'd think that the capability would be a no-brainer wouldn't you? The lack of the ability to use multiple vias to modify a route and the lack of the ability to save multiple routes on the Nuvi was a serious error in judgment on the part of Garmin.
