I have a Garmin Nuvi 265 Sat Nav for my car and an Etrex legend for cycling/walking. I bought City Navigator Europe NT so I could plan routes and tracks on my PC and laptop and upload them to either device - I seem to be in a muddle getting it all to work.

I loaded City Navigator on my Laptop initially unlocking the map linked to my Nuvi device and tried to upload the map to update the Nuvi.

I then loaded City Navigator onto my PC, unlocked the map with the Nuvi linked in and have uploaded routes onto the etrex legend. But I have not found a way of uploading the City Navigator map to the etrex and the map already on the etrex does not seem to be compatible - it seems the routes uploaded come through as straight tracks between waypoints and waypoints don't always transfer correctly...

Neither can I get the Nuvi to show uploaded routes.

Maybe I have blown the license in some way by having 2 devices and or 2 computers?

Does anyone have any advice please?

Thanks for all the advice - just bought the Garmin etrex legend and citi navigator so will keep you posted with how it goes with super long routes etc!

Hi all,

Im planning a LEJOG trip in June with friends, having looked into the route we wondered if there is a sat nav which can be used on a bike where you key in your chosen route beforehand and it can direct you easily whilst you're pedalling away (taking away the hassel of a big map)? Does this (or similar) exist or can anyone offer advice as to the best way to navigate en route?
