garmin zumo?

[Tramp]

Yep im sorry but ive searched and not found answer...

I need a cheap zumo thst when you chose poi fuel it shows just fuel stations not bloodg cooo and tesco express...and if excepts custom mapsource road routes...

My old nuviv550 is having a bad hair day

New zumo 340 etc confuse me .....dont need winding roads just ability to except my custom road route.

Don't think that the GPS can differentiate, unlike Basecamp

[Tramp]

let me make it clear

it needs to except custom planned routes from mapsource or basecamp..

when i need fuel i chose where to and poi for fuel and expect petrol stations to appear not the local tesco express ...my car nuvi 57 does it fine.

sod fuel gauge and service indicators ...i need a navigation device .

the new range of zumo is so confusing...uk map or europe ,lifetime updates or not.....worse than buying a replacement motorbike.

To be fair, when my Zumo dies (345LM) I am not getting another Garmin.

I noticed when in France this year that the routes were always longer and more time consuming than I could get on Google maps, which was Ok as I had plenty time to meander around, but would have been a pain if I wanted to go direct from A to B. It wasn't set to winding routes.

Also had a mapping issue where it invented a road and a bridge over the Loire, which was infact an empty field. Tried to log an error on their website, but that failed, I told Garmin UK about it, and only when I posted on their Facebook page did I get a reply, and not in any way helpful.

It works fine in the UK.

I don't understand. On my Garmin 390, if I'm out and about and running low I just select "Fuel Stations" (in either "Apps" or "Where Too", I can't remember) and it displays the distance, direction (North, South etc) and who operates the station BP, Shell, Tesco, Leclerc etc etc). When I tab on one it asks if I want to add it to my current route and if I do it seamlessly carries on...

I've used it a few times

Same here, click where to, petrol stations then gives you name and distance

Me too.

Thats good to know ... But the early zumo 220 era had different ways of doing it hence the question which youve all answered...

Now dows thw zumo 3 series except custom road routes from basecamp or even mapsource...?

Ta...

[DaveCon]

I'm not sure what you mean by custom route but you can certainly plot a route (with waypoints etc) on basecamp and upload it to your satnav. You can also plot "Tracks" and convert them to routes but there are other people on the forum better place to advise you on that

As a handy hint, I always upload my routes to a memory card in the satnav and not to the internal memory. If you do it direct to the satnav the information can be buried in the folder system and be a bugger to get rid of - it keeps popping up in the POI and the "where to" screens and my OCD flares up

[Tramp]

Yep thats what i ment....when you load the routes on the sd card what name do you give the folder so it can ve accessed from the satnav Davecon?

With my zumo 220 you need to import routes before they work, on nuvi65 its in apps lol....nothing is straight forward on a garmin
