    NZ Open GPS maps?

    With my Garmin mapset I can navigate from home to any address in NZ but when I try to navigate with the NZOpenGPS maps to an address outside the area in which I live it doesn't work. Why?

    Think I've got it sorted. Had to have both NZopenGPS maps ticked. They both looked the same to me so I assumed they were doubled up.

    "Step 7 On your Nuvi make sure maps are selected. Tools, Settings, Map, Map Info. There should be 2 listing of Free Open GPS NZ Autorouting, the POI map and the Street map. Make sure these are both selected."

    More important still is this: Make sure you deselect "city navigator" or whatever the equivalent is in the latest downloads. Select ONLY the two listings above.


    Took me a year to find out about this...

    Thanks. I found the answer in the NZopenGPS forums. Surprising that eh? My Zumo is all update-a-fied for the dusty butt now.
