Garmin Zumo 550 Google / Mapquest

[dave_wells]

I didn't notice any post related to this sorry if it already been posted...

 

I have been using both Google maps and Map Quest for routing my trips

A few weeks ago I discover the ability to send to GPS

I have to say it works much better than what shipped with the unit

I did notice map quest will let you add routes and way points

Google will only do way points

 

pretty slick

 

Thought i would share this bit of info

I've used takeitwithme.com to load wayopints onto my zumo 550 from Google maps, but have not transfered routes from Mapquest. Can you provide some details, links and/or instructions as it would be most helpful.

 

Thanks, in advance!

Sorry.... I was posting from (my apparently not so good) memory. The site is

http://www.takitwithme.com (no e on take).

 

Still curious about getting routes transfered from Mapquest, if anyone has any info.

When you are in Mapquest and have a route planned (won't be there till you have a route)you can go to the top of the page. There is a pulldown button for "send to" (as well as print and save) and the bottom choice is GPS. The first time you will have to follow the link and download the garmin converter program. A window will pop up with that choice and a link to get it.
