I'd say get a new job if your work location is that far away xD

@AbeWWII meh - it's really not all that bad :)

Will the Garmin Etrex Vista HCx allow me to create a route automatically, simply by telling it where I want to go and it will display the route on screen, following the streets from point A to point B. My current Garmin Venture Hc will not unless I input waypoints along the way.

[cineMATTics101]

Mine does, but I had to load MetroGuide onto the unti to get all the streets - the HCx only shows major highways out of the box - not very useful. Once you have the MetroGuide uploaded, then you can accurately ask it to get you to point B from point A

music???what is the name? awesome!

[cineMATTics101]

It's from the World of Goo Soundtrack from Kyle Gabler. The song title is "Red Carpet Extend-o-matic"

I think you can download the entire soundtrack for free

would you point me in the direction of how to pull google map bicycle trail data (that's highlighted in green) into a garmin etrex legend?

Do you know of anyway to allow the movie maker to follow the route at the alt of the gps? ie to actually fly down the track that was imported to GE?
