streets&trips-Mexico
We have S&T on our lap top. Will it be of any use in Mexico? Should we put any S&T information on the lap top before we start out?
Forum Discussion
I am really not sure what it is you would like to do about stops in S&T. You can add and name stops at any time and you can label them. I do not know how you would Drag & Drop as I do not know what you would Drag & Drop?
We blog and put our routes on our blog - see the blog link in our posts on this forum.
We blog point to point of our daily trips - with stops along the way - if we plan any stops. We also use stops to force S&T to take the route we want to take. Easy to do. Click the exact spot on the map and ADD AS STOP. You can name any stop by using push pins. You can name any route by doing a SAVE AS and naming the route and saving in a folder.
You can create an entire multi stop route and you GPS will pick up where you are - wherever you are.
When you say you want to show the whole route without showing all the stop numbers I am not sure what you mean but if you use the CREATE GPS TRAIL in the GPS pane you will see a blue line on the map of your entire route and you can remove the stops and the blue line will stay until you remove it. You can then post this to your blog or wherever you want.
S&T has a great many features and it can take a long time to learn how to use them all. There are places where you can learn more. It may not do exactly what you want it to do in exactly the way you want it to do but you can go on the S&T website and/or blog and make suggestions - or go on the Laptop GPS World S&T forum and search for answers or ask questions. Ask here and I might be able to tell you - or other forum members may be able to help. I have been using S&T for 7 years and freely admit I still have not learned how to do many of the things that can be done with it. Because we do not know how does not mean it can't be done.
No - you cannot put a laptop on your dashboard or in your pocket. You can however plan a route in S&T and then move it to your Garmin to use in the Garmin. What's the point? It is so much easier to plan and create and save routes in S&T than a Garmin and then you can move them to Garmin as you need them. Yes - there is a learning curve - that does not mean it can't be done.
