Panicing........

dandywarhol · Posted: Mon Jul 03, 2006 8:03 pm Post subject: Panicing........

I uploaded European maps from Select V7 to my Quest1 and the following message came up:
"detail maps don't support routing - OK?"

I now have difficulty getting it to find minor road routes from A - B, it wants to send me by major roads.

getting panicky - leaving for a big euro trip tomorrow 8O

Thanks in anticipation............

If Skippy's suggestion does not work then the mapping has not transferred and you are being routed on the basemap - let us know what happens

It could also be that the route you are planning doesn't have full map coverage for the entire route and it's trying to use the basemap for the bits where the maps are missing.

Skippy.....I don't have the V7 on this PC (damaged disk and can't reload removed maps - it's a long story....) but have V7 loaded at work. I haven't loaded any routes - just uploaded the maps of the areas I'm visiting (around 220 mb) and the info message came up about the "detail maps etc."

Now tired and confused. I'll reload the maps tomorrow - I can recall when I uploaded them the only option to tick in "Send to Device"was "Maps" the other 3 tick boxes were persent but not selectable (RE. page 49 in the Mapsource manual)

When you zoom out to, say, the 80 mi scale can you see the grey straight lines that are the edges of the individual map tiles?

Dandywarhol has solved this problem with the ever present help of Garmin Customer Support in Romsey and this forum. Skippy's suggestion that it was a failure to tick the "Include Route Calculation Data" was correct.

Thanks for that Kritou....had a great trip, down to Venice via the Stelvio Pass then the ferry to Corfu. 3 days there and back home over nearly 4 weeks via Thessaloniki, Bulgaria, Romania (over the Carpathians by the Transfaragasan Pass at 2044 metres with snow piled high by the roadside to Transylvania, Hungary, Slovakia (High Tatra Mtns), Poland and Czech Rep.
Home through europe by Germany and Belgium.

All in all 15 countries and 15 different languages............bit of a

when some of them are in Slav/Russian script!!! but a great trip. Only problem was wearing through the rear brake pads on the Yamaha by the time we got to Slovakia - a lot of rear brake down the apls methinks!
Anyone needing any travel advice are welcome to contact me
