I'd like to use this for night boating. Can I build a database of routes I've previously used?

Yes and it also leaves your track line so you know your previous routes and locations

Yes. This device allows you to preview multiple routes and pick the one you prefer.

No. It's only good for free lifetime map updates. You'll have to get the next one up that gives you traffic updates.

The detailed answer involves lots of issues and background information regarding roads, bridges, land/water geography, nautical markers, etc. The practical answer is no, this software is for terrestrial navigation using roads.

I don't know how you want to use it for boating navigation. It has a tracking feature. You can manually input coordinates and go to that location. It has many features. It uses 2 - AA batteries.

There are other maps available. If you get the additional maps & load them I can't see where you'd have any problems.

I find the 1450 frustrating to set up routes the way I want them. They should at least include MapSource with it. Hopefully I will find a solution...

The usefulness of multi-point routing varies from one person to another. Anyone that has daily routes and schedules, this would obviously be a great help. However, for those units that don't have this feature, there is a way to get by.All Garmin units allow for one "waypoint" to be added. Some people add a waypoint somewhere along their travel route, and once reached, add another waypoint, and so on. Hardly elegant, but this hopscotch method gets the job done.

I have happened to add one point to my active route. So you could do one for sure. I simply haven't tried doing more yet.

Honestly you will have to to look it up on the "Navigator forums". They will probably be your best bet.

No, its pretty basic on the routing. You can go in and change the rout manually but its a hassle.

Not that I have been able to locate - been in situations that would have changed the route

There is a printer icon in the main menu. I would assume it would display your programed route. I usually print from Google Maps.

Should work fine. The app lets you save multiple profiles and all your vehicles should be equipped with ODBII ports. I'd say jump :-)

yes, you can plan your routes in google maps ( or any other similar mapping application ) and then import the routes into GPS unit. The maps can be updated as well.
