zumo 550 route reversal

[Bengaz]

is it possible to reverse a route using the zumo unit itself once the route is in the machine?

No. Only on Mapsource, or by faffing around reordering waypoints.

hmm, thought so

by the way, in mapsource, you can right click to invert route in seconds

It is a bit naff that though. you would have thought thats a pretty standard thing to want to do?

If your planning the routes in Mapsource then make a habit of reversing them all before loading onto the unit, you've always got them if you need them or not. Routes are easy to delete off the unit if you find you didn't need them

Just turn the GPS upside down for the way home.

Works for me

You would also have thought with the amount of people moaning about it on various forums throught the world they would have added it in a software update even if they hadn't thought to put it on originally. Not excactly a hard thing to do as it's only software.

One more trick that I do now but didnt Is

After you invert the route
Invert the title - it helps with the selection
I am a dummy but I know it !!!!!

Sounds like a plan Stan!

(as Adam said though they should have offered a fix for it by now being that the Zumo is so new.... it's only been out what? 5 +years?)
