Thanks. I drive a truck and struggled to save alternate routes to a single destination. My OTR 700 is a bit different but you gave me enough I was able to get it done. Not user friendly at all!
Good grief, could Garmin possibly make it more complicated? I have _no idea_ how you figured that out, but thank you so much for sharing. (I was hoping that "simulated" meant it would show the car icon zipping along the route, but I guess not.)
Does anyone know if you can use a trip you used for return journey. Say you were at point B , and you told Garmin to take you home, = point A, already stored =home, can I use this to following day to take, back to B, so now going from point A back to point B ? if that makes sense! Tracking back the route home in reverse!
Wow - Very clever - Thank you very much! Having to go thru this convoluted process just to edit a route is egregious. Route editing should be a core function in all Garmin's (anyone's) road satnavs. Without it, the device is of very little use to me. Can do better with Google Maps (a low bar). Thank you again. 👍
No, but there are other ways. Free way: On next fill-up, set trip odometer to 0. On the next fill-up after that, use a calculator to divide miles driven by gallons. Example: If you drove 350 miles and put in 12 gallons at the pump, 350 / 12 is a 29.2 average MPG. Paid way: If your car is 1996 or newer, you can plug in a wireless Bluetooth module to your OBD-II like this one amzn.to/3nECUDZ (Amazon affiliated link) and then use the Torque app for the phone to communicate with your engine directly. It has several ways you can calculate fuel efficiency wiki.torque-bhp.com/view/MPG The Torque app is $5 but it's a one-time cost and not a subscription.
hi ive got the garmin smartdrive 65 satnav when i start driving the screen starts up all bright and perfect then after about 5 mins the screen goes dark and can hardly see the screen, how do i keep it bright the whole time? , also was to dark to see my reverse camera that i have connected to it
I was giving my old Navi 50 LM to my daughter and I needed to change the Home location. On my newergps I could edit it but on the old 50 I could not find a way to delete it. Thanks. I deleted it in short order and put in her home address in just a second. Thanks.
Yes, very convoluted. Trip Planner is a 2010's thing by Garmin that has not aged well, but the upside is that it does reliably obey route instructions you save.
Perhaps Garmin needs more competition to encourage alternating a route (more intuitively) or creating a completely different route to the same destination.

Very useful video. Thanks for explaining slowly and carefully!
Thanks. The best part of this video for me was using the trip planner while having GPS simulator enabled.
Awesome video. Planning a trip from Durango to canon city and could not figure out to create and save the trip.
Know how to now!
Many thanks!
Great video, thanks for posting. I really miss my old Garmin Nuvi.
I like the uo ahead option but wish it would show for my full route mine only goes up to 20 places
Garman Nuvi route planning: You have helped me tons! Thank you so much!
Thanks from Europe to figure this out for us.

Absolutely brilliant 👍🏻 thanks for posting this video 😊

Than you for your video, I can not find the way to delete one ore more destinations in my route, any idea?
Once a trip is saved, you should be able to modify it to add/remove points along the trip.
@@sat103 Thank you

Yes. Choose the trip out in trip planner. Press go, then for the trip back select next destination as your point A

Great video. How can I see a location after 300 miles on a 1100 trip?
Anything searched while on a trip will show the closest distance match.
trying to use Garmin for a cross country trip is a pain. I'll have to see if its possible this way
Run a test first (tapping Yes on the "Simulate driving this route" screen).
Good info for sure. Is there a mpg calculator/tracker/?
No, but there are other ways.
Free way: On next fill-up, set trip odometer to 0. On the next fill-up after that, use a calculator to divide miles driven by gallons. Example: If you drove 350 miles and put in 12 gallons at the pump, 350 / 12 is a 29.2 average MPG.

Go to Display Settings and set Display Timeout to "Never"
@@sat103 yea it was on that already , im gunna try setting the time to automatic some1 said they may work

They should have a multiple stops options in case you need to go to 15 different locations or more on your way to the final destination.
Wow, they sure made that convoluted to use. Thanks for the explaination.

When you put in a new address it doesn't put them all in alphabetical order like my older Tom Tom.
this is really helpfull thanks
Excellent thank you
thank you so much
Thanks
Thanks!
