Tip of the day

 

Since my Nuvi's manual was useless I started playing with the different functions and from there comes my tip of the day.

Say you are driving on the Interstate from your home city to a distant city and have the route up in your GPSR and the stomach begins making funny noises telling you to stop for food, since you are not familiar with the area you will probably pull up on the next exit and start looking for a place to eat, the tip I have is to hit [Where to?] again without hitting the [stop button], then go to [Points of Interest] [Food] and either hit [All Food] or choose something from the list; as you drive on the Interstate you will see the restaurants near by start showing up on the list and as you drive they begin to be replaced with new restaurants based on proximity, keep driving until something pops up on the list of your liking.

Let’s hear from others what tips they have to share, tell us yours…

Gas Stations

When I am on trips and have a rental car, I will set the Rental Car Company in the GPS as a POI. That way when it is time to turn in the car, I will set my destination to the Rental Car Company and use NEAR-Destination to find the closest gas stations to the rental company. This way there is no more searching for gas stations to fill up before I turn my car in.

Cool! Thanks!

was in Hawaii last week, and

was in Hawaii last week, and had rented off-airport for the first time. I had already plugged in the rental's location so that I could do exactly what is mentioned. Leaving hotel I calculated the route to the rental shop. Then, pulled up POI->Fuel->All and started watching for one I had a card for (Tesoro's big out there, but not in my wallet) It worked perfectly smile

This saved me on my trip to San Antonio, TX. Lots of road construction in the area but my Nuvi pointed me in the right direction!
