Does this support multi-point routing? This means I can make a custom route gpx file and it will specifically follow my custom route.

I don't know about making a file, but you can make a multi-point route. I'm not sure how many points are allowed. I usually only do 2 way points. Many times headed somewhere, I'll decide to find a restaurant to eat at. I'll add it. It'll ask what order I want to make the trip in. I arrange the order and it routes me. It will even give you the arrival times and distances for each of the way points.

I've had 6 connected. The network map page has a pagination widget but I've never had enough devices to start a second page. So I'm guessing it can support a lot more than 6.

Idk if this helps. I have 10-18 stops per day that I need to fallow in order, ive sinked my android phone with the garmin and just type them in one by one, the garmin asks to add this to the route. Only problem there is is with some gps locations are not accurate thus once u arrive to ur destination it goes and calculates the next destination. Not a perfect thing, but if u dont know where u are it helps a lot, especially with truck restrictions

If you are asking, "can I set specific roads to take?", I haven't found a way to do that. You can set the type of route, ie. shortest, fastest...

Hi MIC S, nuvi 264WT does not have multipoint routing feature, it is available to only 7xx and 8xx series BUT one good feature of this device is to add map from google map. So what you can do is create a map i google and add as many destination or stop you want on your ride and on 2 click you can send the entire route to your device. Enjoy!@!!

According the Owner's Manual, page 16: The device supports the following file types: Maps and GPX waypoint files from MapSource (See page 24) GPI custom POI files from Garmin POI loader (see page 24) It also says you need the add-on memory chip to load these, as the internal memory is filled up with the Nuvi road database.

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

Yes - I have 4 of them on FreePBX / Asterisk. For automatic provisioning in FreePBX, there is a really inexpensive extension called Endpoint Manager that supports these units and can automatically configure them. Not necessary, but it makes things easier.

You can add a single waypoint to your route. Just select your final destination, then select another destination. It will ask if you want it to be a waypoint (if you say no, it replaces your prior destination). You can also set preferences regarding highway use, time versus distance optimization, etc.

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

This is single connection only. So running a multi point scenario will not work.

I wasn't able to create my own route with multiple way points on this unit. My old TomTom is the XL and I downloaded the free Tyre program that works with Google Earth to create itineraries. Tyre works with TomTom and Garmin and you can create an itinerary with lots of waypoints or stops. You can also edit itineraries you already have on your TomTom. Needless to say I bought the VIA 1605 but returned it. Like you I wanted a unit I could create my own itinerary with lots of waypoints.

You can upload a course using Garmin Connect. However, I have been disappointed by the turn by turn directions when using this feature. Specifically, it seems to work well until you go off course at all. From that point on it re-routes you to your course end point via whatever route it thinks is best regardless of the course you specified.

In my experience you have to set a via point so the GPS will route in the direction you want. For example. I travel from central KY to northern WI. The GPS will route me through Chicago and all the toll roads and traffic. So I set a via point at Normal, IL after I have entered my WI destination. The GPS will ask you if it's a new destination or if you want to add it to the active route. You choose "active route" and you get the opportunity to pick where in the line-up it goes. So you can set multiple via points if you wish.

Is that an option for this router because if not then you need one compatible with pcap files or at least im pretty sure.

The 265WT will accept more than one via point (I don't know the limit) and all can be entered before starting the trip. However, the end point will not change even if one of the added via's is farther away than the end point. This is where the multipoint routing would kick in. With it you just punch in all of the destinations in no particular order, and the GPS will take it from there.

There was perhaps one rev. of the 1700 that, after a certain s/w update, would not do multiple destinations. If the unit is restored to factory defaults, and then flashed to the latest s/w update, it will work as designed, allowing multiple destination routes.
