D3 NAV Question HELP!

[senfinger]

I need to be able to do a start and stop or a record.

 

Example.

 

I have an hour and a half drive with over 20 something turns. Can I do a start and stop at the end of the trip and keep it stored as a fav and pop the disk in when needed?

 

Thanks in advance and any help would be appreciated!

I'm not really sure what you're asking. You can store your destination into the address book and navigate to it any time by just clicking on it if that's what you're asking.

I'm kind of confused by what you're asking as well.

 

If you set a destination though, it will save the entire route to memory, so you wouldn't need to put the disc back in unless you wanted to change something.

I would like to do a custom back road map by doing a start and stop or something like that?

 

1) Can I enter all of the backroads I want to take to get to my dest.?

2) Can I make a start point and head towards my dest and then create an end point when I arrive and keep that custom nav mapping.? (Like a record option)

 

Basically I need to create a custom backroad mapping or do a recorded trip so I can travel it again.

 

(All I hear is common roads, quickest route etc... I need to do a custom path)

[idbl_fanatic]

No

[senfinger]

So almost every nav unit will do this except for this unit?

 

I want to make sure you guys understand what I'm asking...

 

I have the name of the roads needed and I want to enter them in so I can get directions to it every time as a fav?

[naplesbill]

I think what your saying is you want to set waypoints to force a specific route to your destination. I'm not sure if that's possible but it should be if it isn't.

Exactly!!! Can anyone confirm that it workie!!! LOL = )

 

That would be great~

[whtcrxghst]

Yes, it will do waypoints but you will need the disk in when you set the route, then you can take it out.

 

BTW, If you are taking the same roads every time and know the names, why do you need the nav?

[senfinger]

*cough* ADD jk LOL

 

Actually it's about 5 pages of turns that I need to learn and this will help till I have them down in my head! = )

 

So waypoints it is hugh?

[senfinger]

Well it looks like the D3 is not the greatest... It will not leave a bread crumb trail or allow you to select roads to get to your destination... I'm going to have to try and trick it with way points or areas to avoid... great...

[tonysil]

If you were looking for "the greatest" navigation system, you probably shouldn't have been looking for the least expensive nav head unit you could buy.

I knew someone would state this... The truth is $200 dollar models have this... so you are wrong...

[HiFiSi]

True. But those $200 models are single purpose oriented. The D3 has many, many functions, each of which it does pretty well, but each of which are done better by units dedicated solely to those functions.

 

You paid for diversity, not perfection.

[senfinger]

Which is why I having to rig it with waypoints and areas to avoid...(It may be a good excuse to have a suction cupped NAV since they screwed the unit over with only one slot anyways) LOL

 

Thanks to all... I'll rig it! Maybe in a future upgrade- who knows
