 |
|
I need to be able to tell my nuvi 200w that I'm a 10t truck and can't go down 7.5t weight limited roads, country lanes, roads with low bridges etc.
Can anyone help me, please?? |

in the settings have you told it you are a truck? or rather that you drive a truck?

Can't find out how to.
In one menu I have to choose from car, bike, or pedestrian. And in another menu I have to choose from normal car, monster truck (not a truck, more like an overgrown 4x4) or a pointing arrow.
Any suggestions?? |

its this menu but seems to have been cut down considerably for the 200 series nothing you can do really other be vey careful not to rely solely on the nuvi!

Garmin says:
"Garmin mapping software does not contain truck routes or low clearances.
From the settings in the Navigation icon, you can put the unit in truck mode
(under vehicle type). This means that the unit will navigate on major roads
as much as possible. However, if there is only one way to get to your
destination and it is going down a street on which trucks are not allowed,
the unit will plan to navigate that road."
Sorry mate...
