Does this gps have off highway directions so I could take back roads instead of highwayss

I have found this unit to have a lot of back roads and even a lot of forest service roads though the forest. I even found some old logging roads out in Colorado that were on the unit.

I believe you can use the via concept to go off highway. We travel all over and we have not had any trouble finding our way no matter where we've gone. Always try to know where you want to end up and the places you might see on the way. That way you may realize when you are lost.

You can chose to use Hwy or avoid certain road types. It will not navigate you on unverified roads. I'd highly recommend a paper map along with any GPS for that worse case scenario.

I typed in 10 Main St. Anchorage, Alaska and it gave a message that "the route is too long. Navigation instructions are a added as you approach the destination." I would guess the maps would be there. It is a great GPS.

I don't know for sure William, but I think it does. At least, a few days ago our Garmin (in a shared car) gave me directions as soon as I started the car (and I wasn't the one who'd entered that information).

When you enter the route you want, the unit will show you one route. You can only change the route by adding way points. I wish it would give you at least one more option to choose from, but this unit doesn't.

No it dsnt turn off on its own. Infact if u don't put any specific destination on ot it will change to simply showing u the maps and roads without any navigation. It turns off when u turn it off or the ignition to the car is off.

it will recalculate the route just as all the other TomTom navigation does. but it won`t tell you you had missed a direction. once you drive pass the direction, it will start re-calculating.

I don't know as the Tom Tom is the only GPS I have owned. However, we made it through 17 days in Ireland with it. Occasionally, it would make a mistake and show us as being off-road when we were on a highway but nothing big. It helps to have some idea of where you are going and what roads you'll be taking.

Its not a regular GPS system. But u its work ok for how much the head unit is. I have a Garmin that I use so i usually dont turn on the radio gps

No, it does not. It is also very slow in acquiring its gps position. I would recommend this gps to anyone. I am very disappointed in its performance and I am currently looking for a replacement.

The unit only points to your destination. You have to enter way points along your route then return along your route via the way points you have entered in reverse order.

No. I bought this for my mother as a present. By the time it came for her to open it, it was to late to return.the GPS doesn't work at all. Can't get a map to any where

I don't know but I wish I hadn't wasted my money on this. Much better systems out there. Doesn't have a good set of maps. Cannot easily change from tow to non tow mode. Tells you to go left when must go right, a lot.

Yes it does and very well. I'm a Ontrac driver that uses streets n trips daily for my route and this GPS unit is 100% better then the Microsoft GPS.

The short answer is NO. This device is only capable of calculating the GPS coordinate of your current location. It is not designed to guide you to any destination. If you decide to purchase an expensive Offline Map software (or Application, which you can download in your smartphone), then this device can provide you with additional accuracy, which is better than the accuracy of in-built GPS of the smartphones.

Yes, arrow will show you the way. It wont show you a map, but I always carry a topo map as a back up to see the terrain features. . You wont go wrong with this little gps. If you have the money to buy a very expensive one with map features, like the one I have, go ahead and get it. But I got this for my f a ther in law who is a simpleton. He loves it

The C340 has "full" spoken directions as well. It will read the street names and exit numbers to you.The C330 only tells you to "turn left" and so on, although it does display the names/exits at the top.

Thanks for the input, I actually kept the original Garmin. I realized it couldn't recognize my position re: the street because my house is 1000 ft off the road. I actually like it a lot. It does quirky things like take me to the highway one way and bring me home another even though the streets are not one way. At this point, I'm glad I got it.
