I'm having some trouble understanding your meaning. For what it's worth I just mapped out a route over to Lansing, Iowa from Madison that is very much like a really enjoyable one I took three or four weeks ago. It didn't take long to lay it out. Since some of the roads are not really marked highways, I expect it will be really handy to have the arrow showing me which way to turn at the smaller intersectiona. A lot of the convenience factor probably depends upon the kind of terrain you plan to go through.

Glad it worked out.  You seem to have better luck with the App than me.  If you like the App, my guess is that you'll like the unit.

With all the guidance devices I've experienced, just ignore where it's pointing and go your own way.  The software realizes this after a while and conforms to your wishes.  The Beeline does a little dance first, which is always entertaining.

I look at a map.  There are places in the American outback that cell phones, nav systems and credit cards don't work.   :boozing:

Yep.  New York City and Chicago with those tall skyscrapers can block access to a satellite constellations, as well as a few deep ravines and very heavily forested areas.  Everyone should learn basic map skills just like everyone should learn to read an analog clock.
