Are there any UK sites with downloadable waypoints for Mapsource.

Pubs, McDonalds, B&B's, campsites, lap dancing clubs, Shops, secret military instalations......well you get the idea?

 

[(RIP) Kaister]

yes, somewhere.

Waypoints

I've just bought my first GPS, and I'm still trying to workout what a waypoint is.....?

Waypoints are the little marker flags that you drop onto your maps on the PC or using the 'mark' button on the GPS whilst out and about.

These can be named whatever you wish and can the be destinations to aim for or via points in a route.

The first one you should add to your GPS is 'home'.

When out and about and decide it's time to go home just press the 'find' button twice to start the navigate home option.

No problem, but I won't take the credit for it... if I recall correctly it was Gecko who originally posted this info - may only work on a V though

OK Adam just tried it on the 60C and it does not work..

Richie, try tapping the heels of your shoes three times while saying "theres no place like home"

'find find' will work on a SPIII, SP2610, GPSmap 60C/60CS, GPSmap 76C/76CS, GPSmap 276C, GPS V but not GPSmap 176/176C

Hmmm... what firmware release are you running ?

Don't have a 60C here at the moment

The version before the latest BETA (3.40). I tried again and find find goes to recently found places. Of course Home is either on top or at least near it.
