Carol this is exactly what I did to get familiar with using the GPS.
The best thing to do is to have the system set to automatically recalculate
the route, with this option turned on after the route has been deviated from
to a prescribed degree the software will simply go away and recalculate and
tell you it's doing that.
To enable me to see the most amount of useful information I also turn
waypoint numbering off when using the system in a car.
Hope all this helps, have an enjoyable trip there is something great about
just sitting watching stuff go by which previously you may have been
completely unaware of, it's a bit like looking out of the window I guess and
has completely changed what I do when travelling by car!

Subject: [gps-talkusers] HINTS ON WORKING WITH ROUTES
Hi all,
I'm going on my first long travel with the GPS on Monday and intend to get my route and watch alongside my driver but, because of my lack of total skill right now, I'll leave her to make her own decisions. What I want is some feedback on what I do when she changes the route from mine or how I might choose her route.
Thanks for any pointers on this.
