Garmin out of memory when trying to go to rome italy

Try setting your location in Italy, then see.

Might need to add the marine maps to get across the ocean.
Sorry, I just had to say it.

I can simulate a route with my 2460 from continental US to a foreign country (Mexico) but can't simulate one to the state of Hawaii

That's because you can drive to Mexico, but can't drive to Hawaii. Nuvi won't route you there because it doesn't have a way to cross the ocean.

Nuvi *will* route you to Mackinac Island in Michigan from anywhere in the US because the maps have a ferry route and it sends you on the ferry. What is hysterical about that is that there are no cars allowed on the island.

Set your location to the hotel you are staying in Rome in simulation. Then you can simulate from the hotel to any place while your are at home.

I purchased the maps and went to Rome and everything worked great. Your GPS will set your location to where your are just like it does here.

Be sure and take a walking tour through Rome, slow and easy and nice.

What is your usage mode? If you set it to bicycle or pedestrian then you will on every long route get this message. And when running cross continent routes you should enable highways and toll roads. Otherwise routes are getting too complicated for GPS to calculate. Especially in Europe.

If you are getting message as this it is good idea to choose closer destination point and split route into pieces. You will not cross Europe in one run anyway, even on highways.

when I was in Rome, I used the Nuvi for walking also. it was great to find restaurants.

We used it to walk in Rome. It was great.
We also used it to walk in Venise. The buildings were tall so we lost satellites. I would get in the middle of a bridge to acquire satellites then look ahead to see where to go before we walked inbetween the buildings. We were lost for a while. I now know to put the gps on simulate when no satellites will lock on and use it like a paper map. Just wish I knew that when we were lost and the streets were dark!!

I was on my way home to western PA from a bike trip riding around up in Ontario when I hit "Go Home". The Zumo went into a tizzy and never stopped. After a soft reset I discovered my problem. I had "No Tolls" checked under Avoidances. I guess the Zumo kept finding toll bridges back to the states.

I thought there was a spot above Lake Champlain that you could cross with no toll? I think it was Rousses Point.

@pwohlrab,

Though I don't know all of the border crossings I'm sure there are other no toll crossings too. I guess the Zumo had not found any yet. After the reset and turning off "No Tolls" it calculated a route home just fine.

A little off topic here. Some 30 years ago I had an elevator maintenance route in NW Wash., DC. During the night they changed some one way streets around. I was taking an early AM callback to a building and I couldn't figure out how to get to the street it was on. With the help of a police officer we discovered "You can't get there from here?". There really wasn't a way to get to the one block where the building I needed to get to was located. He escorted me down a one way street the wrong way to get there. Some one way signs were already being removed when I was leaving the building. I wonder how the GPS would calculate that. Well it obviously would have sent me down a one way street the wrong way becuase it wouldn't of had the changes. So if I followed it, me and my GPS would be another news story. "The GPS made me do it."

There was at one time but it maybe gone now. I know 2 or 3 years ago asking the Nuvi to route you from Western New York to Toronto with the Tolls avoidance on would get you a route which crossed into Canada somewhere east of Lake Ontario. This would be in the area your referring to.

I was on the side of the road last year on the phone and some young ladys were confused on what their GPS was telling them. They couldn't understand why it would take like 10 hrs to go to Toronto. They had "avoid toll roads" and it sent them to that portion of NY.It was route 3 (I believe) and then back on the 401.

I told them "just pay the toll".

For kicks, I tried google maps for a route from Ohio to Rome, but it's a no go situation across the Atlantic. On the other hand if you wanted to get from, say, Cleveland to Adelaide, Australia google will do that for you, the Pacific doesn't seem to be an issue.

Here's Google's routing: http://tinyurl.com/7q9bn9l

I like that trip. especially step 26, 42, and 103 where you kayak across the Pacific Ocean.
