My Magellan Meridian recently suffered a glitch and would not function at all. I got that fixed by reloading the firmware. My wife and I decided that it functions best as a handheld for hiking and canoeing, but not so well for on-road travel. Screen size and routing are not the best for road travel. Now the shopping begins...
I want a GPS with a nicely detailed mapset. Easy to set waypoints. Autorouting, and unlike the Meridian, something I can build a street route with.
The DirectRoute for the Meridian lets you set a beginning and an ending waypoint, but then decides the route for you. You have to drive some miles past a turn before it will reroute without the "Uturn at..." symbol.
I want something I can select many waypoints, or other destinations (hotels, parks, shops, etc) and the route comes up in the order that I plan. Even better would be something I could highlight a street route on my computer and load into the GPS and it would follow along.
Any advice, thoughts, questions, answers, woud be much appreciated...
Thanks
