Nuvi 2597 Routes

 

I recently received a 2597 to replace my 855. On the 855 I could to to /settings/My Data/Import Route(s) From A File to import a route I had uploaded from MapSource. I can't seem to locate a similiar function on the 2597. Any suggestions?

Create

Create your route in Mapsource and send it to your Nuvi
Like you did with your old unit.

On your new 2597 go to Apps - Trip planner and your Mapsource route will be there. Note that Nuvi's no longer use routes like your old unit did. They now use trips which behave differently than routes. There is lots of info on this site discussing Trips.

I use this method for routes. http://www.poi-factory.com/node/42698 . Note on 2597 step not required to import the route .
