|
|
Hi.
I've just discovered the wonderful world of Sat Nav prior to starting a new driving job next week.
I've bought a Nuvi 200W rather than the TT XL after reading many posts and shopping around, have I done the right thing???
1. I thought the Nuvi could navigate to GBOS grid references? but I can only find the long/lat input screen.
2. I can't find a PC link cable on the Garmin website. Can I only transfer data from PC to Nuvi via the SD card?
Many thanks in advance for all replies, Dan _________________ Garmin Nuvi 200W |

I have a Nuvi 310D, and to change coordinates to British National Grid on it, I select the "Where To?" button and then "Coordinates", where you'll find "Format", which then shows the different coordinates your machine supports.
Whilst my Lat/Long coordinates are accurate, there's an error with BNG (which Garmin know about) due to their use of the wrong Map Datum.
Perhaps a fix may eventually appear?!
Hope that helps.

Thanks PA.
I did find that format option and unless I'm mistaken I only have 3 options of different formats for lat/long.
I'll check again and then see if anyone else can shed some light on it.
Cheers, Dan _________________ Garmin Nuvi 200W |

probably not able to do it with the 200 series. These seem to have been 'cost engineered'. _________________ Phil |
