Garmin StreetPilot c550

[Donkey]

Hi guys/gals

Thanks to Niel I got me one of these babies, Garmin StreetPilot c550, lovely gadget with Blueteeth connectivity. Hopefully this will improve my arrival times at GTG's and reduce the getting lost moments and driving half a tank of diesel before getting anywhere.

Went through the manual and I'm not seeing an option to search for a point using co-ordinates , can someone help please.

Regards

Routes: Automatically calculated with turn-by-turn instructions; automatic off-route recalc shows how to get back on track if you miss a turn or exit; a detour function enables routing around traffic problems or road construction

Voice: Navigation instructions and warnings with TTS (text-to-speech) – unit prompts you to “turn right on Main street”

Traffic: Alerts for traffic, road construction and weather-related tie-ups. StreetPilot uses data to suggest alternate routes before problems are encountered

Waypoints: 500 with name and graphic symbol

Trip computer: Resettable odometer, timers, average and maximum speeds

Thanx Oooms, would have been pointless since I had no unit then don't you think? Will have a look tomorrow and see.

Donkey,did some research,that function is not avaliable on that unit,it is a streetpilot. must check when using T4A if then can put in coorinates

[Donkey]

Thanx Niel for the effort! I'll be a streetpilot then let's see how it goes.

Under the POI menu there's T4A which has campsites, hiking trails and 4x4 trails, so I'm hoping that should do, will have to try it out with the upcoming GTG.

T4A cover most 4x4 trails,with actual route,there data is collected from people who have driven the trails,save as track and then send through to them ,really good product.
