Thanks dasilvarsa, (or should I say baie dankie?) while I can put the gps into "demo" mode, I can't find how to reposition it. The Oregon software is very unintuitive. I was just very surprised to see the routes I have built in Mapsource show only point to point on the gps. Surely the route should display correctly no matter what my current position is?! Anyway, I have Sygic Aura on my Samsung phone and that software is pretty awesome. I will try the Garmin when I get to the UK but it is rather frustrating not to be able to rely on it before I leave on my trip.
Almost as frustrating as this dumb web forum that keeps telling me I need to register every five minutes even though I am logged on. Really dumb!
Thanks for your advice.
Still no idea about the 3D data though?

There is no any DEM data for 3D mode on this maps. I think there is no any DEM data for 3D on Gmapdem.img too. Only TOPO series maps contains detailed DEM data for 3D mode on hendhelder.Garmin, how much is 30 pieces of silver for Judas today? Were they worthy for crucifix of GPSPower?

Beginners tutorial explains exactly what I have been doing.
Did all that but it does not work!
I select a waypoint in Europe but when I select Go I immediately get an error message:
"Route Calculation Error: Maps do not have routable roads in this area".
The GPS does not give me the option to reposition. Really dumb.
I mean I can't have routable roads for the whole planet loaded.
At least on my old dumb Garmin I could manually set the location but this piece of *^%$#% is very annoying!
Well I eventually got it into Automotive test by selecting Recreational! I know, right!~ Unbelievable stupidity! Can't believe some programmer actually got paid to program something this bad!
Anyway the test function is basically useless because you can only test point to point. You can't (or at least I can't find out how to) test a downloaded Route. Not too clever. Thank goodness for Sygic!
Anyway, thanks for your help guys. I still just can't get over just how bad the software really is!Last edited by Tigertrader; 19th March 2013 at 11:50 AM.
