Garmin 760 LM won't direct me into Canada

[woodman1]

Is this the norm or do I need to set it some way? I thought it was for North America.

I would say it is a pretty smart GPS

It's possible that the RAM is maxed out and it can't load the full map suite - you might have to add an SD card to increase the memory capacity.

If your Garmin works like mine, set it to go to Mexico and it will give you directions to Canada.

you don't have canada maps, lower 49 does not include canada.

It is your settings
You do not need to buy any maps

Lower 49?
You can buy the extra/missing map(s) at the Garmin site per Dave's link, if they weren't included in your LM subscription. Not sure if they include "traffic", but it can be useful sometimes, too.

I encountered that three years ago. Apparently you need to purchase the Canadian map. I sure could have used it then but I hadn't been aware of the Canada limitation.
Check this site Garmin maps.

Have a look at "avoids/custom avoids" to make sure that "tolls" or "ferries" isn't checked. It may be avoiding a toll or ferry.

Are you sure you have loaded the Canada maps
