CityXplorer North America 2012.10 (all the CityXplorers in one file)

I got the 1450 so it has the enhanced pedestrian mode. I followed the instructions and within the gps it shows that cityexplorer is enabled, but I cannot get the unit to use the bus or subway routes for any of the cities supported by cityexplorer. All i can do is get a path from source to destination by walking only.

Is there a setting I have to enable on the gps to get the bus routes listed as part of the cityxplorer routing?

Yes it is and it is a bit tricky:
in the main screen top second from left touch the car/bike/pedestrian symbol and then change the "UsageMode" to "Pedestrian - Powered by cityXplorer" and push "ok"
Then from the main screen select "Tools" then "Settings", "Navigation" and "Transit Types", there you can select Bus, Train and/or Metrorail.
Note: first of all you have to choose "Pedestrian"-mode, otherwise you cannot select Bus, Train, ...

Ok I did that, and yes it does say "Pedestrian - Powered by citgyXplorer" and Transit Types are enabled for Bus, but yet they got me walking for several km at a time for any destination, and never suggest to me to take the bus or train when there are routes for those.

I guess what Im asking is confirmation that this cityXplorer release is working properly for others, so that I can start hunting down why it is doing this

yes you must enable cityxplorer public transports in Tools/navigation/pedestrian menu

**catymag** · 11th June 2011, 02:46 PM

you must browse the map, simulating if you'r not in the selected city, place your position in a street of that city , then in "where to" you can ask to go from that position to eg. a point of interest in that city : it will offer you public transports

Nope no go - it'll keep telling me to walk to each destination, regardless of how far it is!

to max_clif: are you outside of the area which is covered by the cityXplorer map? I live in a suburb which is not covered by the cityXplorer and when I want to go to the center of the city my 1450 tells me to walk to that underground station which is closest to my home, then to take the underground and from that point everything is as one expects.

I feel really badly you went through so much work on my behalf, only for me to find out that I screwed up.

Im using a slightly outdated map of north america, thus transit routes were disabled. I've only now put on the newest NA map and now it works :/

Sorry...........
