Garmin Venture Cx Can I Install Both The Topo Map Aswell As Metro?
I have a Garmin eTrex Venture CX, I already have TOPO map installed in the SDcard. Need help from an experienced Venture CX user.
Q1) Can I install both the Topo map as well as the Metro guide in the same GPS and have them both running and available for use any time I need them?
Q2) Does the Metro Guide allow you to search an address and waypoint it from the GPS?
1. Yes, you can have both topo and street maps stored on the same card, but you can only view one or the other at a time, not both (hit your menu button once on the map page and select ‘map setup’ to choose which maps are turned on and off).
2. Yes, Metroguide does allow you to search for an address and mark it as a waypoint. However, it does not route you to that location. Instead, it marks the location and draws a straight line from where you are to that location. Outside of the roads on the basemap (interstates, major US routes, etc.) it will not route you to your destination.
If you would like turn-by-turn directions for the smaller city streets, you’ll want City Navigator instead.
