RE: [Az-Geocaching] Garmin nRoute

So, I decided to download this and play with it. Pretty cool! But it only
creates straight-line routes for me. For instance, if I tell it to route me
from home here in Mayer, Arizona, to Phoenix, all I get is “go 59.9 miles
southwest to the destination.” Very helpful.

The Help file says to make a change on the Routing tab of the Preferences
window, but there is no Routing tab. Anyone else run into this?

Looks like the link is broken right now though.

I’ve seen references to nRoute on Garmin’s website, but I can’t get any
clear idea of who can use it. I know it’s downloadable, but is it only for
certain Garmin models or software? Or is it something that can be used by
anyone, or at least anyone with a Garmin GPS and/or Garmin map software?
