Im not meaning to teach people to suck eggs. But this may help some new Garmin users.
I use Plotaroute with my Garmin Touring as I find it to be an excellent route planner. Usually I plot distances of about 50km and the Garmin never lets me down.
Recently, I plotted a route of 170km in one go and downloaded it to the Garmin. I set off but did not switch the Garmin on as I knew the first 50km of the route. When I arrived in Flensburg I turned the Garmin on and the route loaded. I set off riding and almost immediately a warning came on my screen that basically said that there was not enough points on my route and although it could navigate, it would be difficult.
I have now decided that if I have a 150 km route, the best thing is to plot it into 3x50km rides.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this and is there a solution except manually imputting every point.
