@PGlaves — that is truly most likely the course I am going. Or index playing cards, sharpee, and blue painter’s tape. I actually hate the thought of placing a speaker in my helmet, and the on-dash navigation looks like a recipe for destruction the way in which it is presently arrange.

Do not misunderstand what I meant. I experience with a GPS 99.9% of the time and sometimes have two GPS items mounted – one doing routing and the opposite displaying a knowledge desk (Velocity, odometer, transferring time, stopped time, and so on.). However at any usable show vary on the map it’s arduous to see the larger image past the following flip or perhaps two. My present routing mannequin in an previous Garmin Zumo 660 and I even have an older 276C I take advantage of for the info desk as a result of the previous map would not matter for that use.

But when touring I nearly all the time have a map within the tankbag pocket. I purchase a Rand McNally atlas yearly or two and lower out the suitable pages to cowl my journey.

My method is considerably stone age in comparison with what know-how can now do. I seldom construct a route and add it. I normally enter my vacation spot as a waypoint after which form the way in which I wish to go by utilizing a number of cities or intersections as by way of factors. I began doing this with a Garmin II again within the mid-Nineties. The maps again then have been main roads solely and good luck in some new subdivision. Even with my 660 with lower than recent maps I’d must cease and take a look at Google Maps on my telephone to finalize the placement of a home or enterprise, and so on. It’s simple to make use of Google Maps to get the coordinates after which enter these into my GPS. However I’m normally extra curious about seeing the way in which to Seattle or Grand Forks fairly than to 816 Reeves Drive.

I do know there are a number of different methods to do that however that is what’s most handy and works greatest for me.
