Hi all, A couple of weeks ago some of you asked me about the routing capabilities of the new eTrex 30 model. First of all, as I said before. My previous model was a Venture HC, so without routing. I had nothing to compare to, when it comes to routing on an eTrex. Today I finally had time to do some tests. So I downloaded a fresh copy from garmin.openstreetmap.nl of The Netherlands with the Mapnik TYP file and put the gmapsupp.img on my gps. I made sure the routing was set to car and went of for a short trip of geocaching in the neighborhood on my bike. My conclusion is that car navigation does send me over cycleways and footways. It also sends you the wrong way in a oneway street. Some foot/cycleways I was send over: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?way=123268791 http://www.openstreetmap.org/?way=38227297 http://www.openstreetmap.org/?way=124617312 The street it send me the opposite way was http://www.openstreetmap.org/?way=111853421 When it did, it showed "Hofzicht (Cycleway)" in the display. That "Cycleway" was in English even with Dutch language settings in the gps. Regards, Frank
