It does mention something about simulation in the manual ( Page 77)l but I don't know if that is what you are looking for. There are units out there that do it though. I thought the 4250 was a nice unit...the only thing I didn't care for was the on and off....sometimes it took awhile. But again, my friends loved it and I am thinking about buying one for myself.

Thank you for your response. I believe you are planning destinations into a folder, I know how to do that, but it dosent let you actually simulate the trip from the airport to hotel or tell you how many miles it is till you get to the airport. If it does I cant find it.

Yes, you can...while I don't have this unit, I recently visited some friends who had just purchased it and were flying to Chicago. I programmed their whole trip from O'Hare to all their desinations and back to O'Hare and they never had a problem except for once because my friend didn't trust the GPS...he said you have to trust it. I think I used the Point of Interest to start the routing...use airports and type in Los Angeles or LAX

usually i select towns along the route and save as favorates, as i reach the vicinity of each i select the next one. last week i used this method to go the back way into houston, tx. worked great.just be sure to mark location of next highway junction about 3 miles along the way

Hello Daina,I don't know if there is an option in the setting that would permit this...It only loads the best rout that it calculates to be the best option. If you connect it with the traffic sensor, and depending on the traffic in your planed rout, it may give a new option (route), and let you know how much time you could save... You will however, have to accept the suggestion before your GPS could implement it (the new route )...Have a great day,Kevin

Yes, you can use this. I used an IPad 2 for navigation while flying my Cessna, without any data plan. The problem was, it would lose my position on the map. The map would still be there, but the little "airplane" would disappear. After doing some research, I got the "Bad Elf" and have NEVER lost position. Well worth the money!!!! The LAST place you want to lose your signal in IN THE AIR!! (ha)

Yes.1. Select an address first, the select Go2. Select another address and select Go3. It will ask for whether you want to add to the trip or not.

Yes it will, just start with your last stop, enter info, then enter next to last stop and add as via next stop and keep doing the same for all stops. You can view total trip or just leg of trip by tapping on time or mileage left to go in top right corner of screen

There is a feature that is called "Multi-stop". You can put in your first destination and then ask it to find gas stations or campgrounds on MY ROUTE and then save them as a VIA. It's not overly easy to use, but it is possible. We find ourselves consulting many books and online sources to find campgrounds and then saving the campgrounds into a group that we have called "Campgrounds" and then head from one of those to the next. Give yourself time to play with this and learn it's functions WAY before you head out. It can be complex, but once you hit the road and ask for things "ON ROUTE" it helps a lot with stops.

Patricia this is designed to get you places not keep track of miles so I don't think it does what you need. You Mark a starting point and when you want to get back it points you in the right direction. It can also get you back to a point by marking the point when you arrive, saving it and when you want to go back to that point you dial it up and it points you to it.

The answers posted on here seem to reflect some real inconsistent work by TSA. I've tried twice to go by TSA with this on my key chain and both times these were taken away, despite some pleading by me. The two airports are: SNA (Orange County, CA) and LAX. I am 0/2. I will not risk losing another one. I'll just leave it at home or pack it in my checked baggage.

You will need a separate gps to direct you. It has no screen or voice guidance. Periodically pull unit and hook up to computer. It will upload data to webpage that gives mileage driven and where. I just use it to keep hours and to verify work for a sweeper truck each night.

There is no way to do itinerary programming on this unit. You can create a route that has only 4 points. In addition, there is no way to load routes created externally (Tyre, etc.) This is one of the main reasons I returned mine. There are multiple features missing: No Backup, No compass, No Itinerary planning, No opening screen showing the owner's info in case it is lost. The 1605 is supposed to be the replacement/upgrade for the XXL. However, this is a large step backwards from the XXL that I own.

After route is planned, you can click on "details" then " browse as text " and you will receive turn by turn directions. You also have 4 other options. I hope this helps you.

Go to details; there are several options & 1 of them is something like " review as text"; it will list the directions, 1 at a time, telling you you'll turn left on main st, travel 4.2 miles, and so on.

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.

Hanna, yes to both of your questions. Once a destination is selected, on the upper right hand corner of the map page is your arrival time and miles to that destination. On another page you have an odometer that can be reset, total hours, hours moving, hours stopped, average speed, max speed, elevation, percentage of trip to destination and hours left to reach destination. I really like all the features on this GPS. Good luck.

you can put in three separate locations by first going to the locations and then designating which of the three location options you want for it. then you can switch to any of the three at any time. the device only shows direction to travel as the crow flies,and distance. it is NOT like a garmin GPS which tell you where to turn. it only points you in the direction of one of the three locations you have entered and it will show distance but you have to figure out the paths to take.

Wow, dude, I really don't know. You'd be better off using a laptop for navigation (like plot your trip prior to departure)
