Quick background:
I used Google maps to create a few routes which I wanted to follow around the west coast of Ireland. Using mapstogpx.com I created GPX files which I then imported into Tyre for some minor tweaking (removal of unnecessary waypoints etc.). Once saved as GPX files in Tyre, I manually copied the files to the GPX folder on my Nav 6. When I examined the routes on the device itself, all was good with nothing changed. Happy days.
The Issue:
During the ride there were occasions where, whilst still on the route, I would navigate directly to a place (petrol station for example) by selecting it as a new destination. Once done, when I wanted to re-join my pre-designed route, I would be asked to decide which waypoint to start from. If I selected a waypoint behind us we would of course have to double back which would be a bit pointless. If I chose the next waypoint from where we were, the Nav 6 would decide which way to get there itself and not use the route I had pre-designed.
The Question:
I have a Zumo 550 and it will simply guide you to the next waypoint without deviating from the pre-planned route - is there a way to get the Nav 6 to behave in the same way?
Cheers,
Seán.
