Garmin Nuvi 500 (and Garmin Cycle Map?)

 

I have a Garmin Nuvi 500. One of the modes is bicycling. Does that have all of the features of Garmin Cycle Map North America?

Nuvi 500

Most of the nuvi models in that generation had a "bicycle" navigation mode. My nuvi 755T does. I messed around with it many years ago and as I recall, it altered routing to avoid high speed roads and didn't always follow road restrictions like one way streets. I don't think the bicycle mode necessarily implies compatibility with the cycling map. Since the nuvi 500 isn't listed as a compatible device for the cycling map, it probably won't work. But if you decide to risk $20 to try it, let us know the results! smile
