gps that will let me make route points - Page 2

My Garmin 60Csx will let me input route points directly into the unit. It's a bigger pita than doing it on the computer and uploading it, but I've done it.

I think this is one of the biggest downfalls of GPS units. If I'm on a road trip, I want to see certain places along the way and would love to tell the GPS what those points are, without having to go one point to another, then program in a new destination every time.

I'm wanting more of the car orientated gps's. The new Magellan roadmates allow you to make multiple points.

I know the 660 review on web bike world said you could add points to a route as either destinations or waypoints... wonder if the 220 would do that...

I will have to play with my 550, it's pretty much the same device without stereo bluetooth

yeah the 550 still has a price tag $100 over the 660 too... so should be just as capable

glad I bought mine used from pete I like the buttons and not all touch screen. You can skip songs and stuff without having to fiddle with the touch screen.

I just scored A 660 brand new for 350. The guy bought it then totaled his bike and doesn't wanna ride anymore... Didn't even get it out of the box....
