i have a stupid question here... ](*,) i have created a route from mapsource and transferred to the unit by clicking tranfer button in the mapsource. Now, how do i recall that route in the unit and use it for navigation? It is different than garminXT where there is a route folder where you have the saved/transferred routes and you and recall it from here...... :frus:

Nuvi 255W does not have route-pre-planning or multi-ple rouotes capability. Only the higher end models 700 and later models has this capability

Dear all 255w users,
Sorry for start asking noob question here.

Is there any MFM map for 255w with JVC?
As I remember using 255w with mfm v1.70, I dont see any junction view poping up already when approaching junction. Something I have not set in 255W?
Obviously, I have unchecked the 2 NT maps.

Since the answer to your question can be found if you do a simple search in the forum, I could help myself but take a swipe at you.

I dont think you will find MFM map for 255W with a electrical appliance from the Japan Victor Company (JVC).

The answer to your question is that MFM does not currently produce maps for Garmin GPS with Junction View even if the device has the junction view feature.

NT and MFM does have support for the JCV feature.

Cheers.

i last checked is about $330, local set.
i see some owners of this set do not have junction view.
i also feel junction view take up half of the screen view :-?
