in this video we're going to talk about turn by turn navigation using the garmin gps map
66 series gps now turn by turn navigation i assume we're talking about highway driving google maps
type of driving that you can do on the gps that is really a function of the map that is installed
on the device rather than the device itself so in other words you can do turn by turn navigation on
pretty much every current gps right now from the etrex all the way up it's just the map product
that determines what can be routable or bootable so let's go in here we have the map 66 turned on
you can see here we don't have any maps turned on and this is what we do see 15 years ago when you
bought a gps this is what you typically would see now we can tap on menu and we can go on map setup
select configure maps you can see here the list of map layers that i have available here's our
worldwide base map which is really just a map outline it is the lowest
denominator or the lowest level detail you'll find this on a lot of different types of gps's also
next up you would have the telpo canada which has been pre-loaded on the 66 st not quite sure if
this is still pre-loaded on it or if it's the new garmin topo active map but this is the version 2
and typically topo maps do not include routing or navigation so you can see here that when we
turned on the map layer we have a lot more mapping detail and of course now from here we can actually
do a search we can take you can utilize the weight points or the points of interest that are
installed on this map layer and go take a look so i'm just going to find a gas station
and i'm going to navigate to it and here it gives me a calculation method but like i said this map
will not do the turn-by-turn navigation as you can see here it does the default
point a to b as the crow flies navigation let's cancel this i'll show you the next option
so now really if you want to do turn-by-turn navigation is you need to buy another map product
or download an open street map garmin compatible map that has the routing or routing so here i just
happen to have on my sd card slot installed on device back road maps canada so what i'm going
to do here is just turn off these two layers and turn on the back rows again this is an sd card
go back and you can see that the map detail has changed i'm gonna do the same search as before
and i'm going to now navigate to this gas station
and you can see now that it actually snapped to the road and now i can actually do my turn
my turn navigation you can see that right there and now let's see let's stop this again
and let's go back to the last one because there's one more map layer that you probably saw which is
the bird's eye satellite imagery which you're able to download to the device so let's enable that
you can see here it's kind of turned off you can see by the square that i downloaded so
it is just an image probably won't be able to navigate now
if you had something underneath for example let's go back and turn on the back roads again
you can see that kind of layers it underneath so you could using bird's eye but that's
really just for a visual reference all right so now last thing i want to do is
show where you get that direction so when we did a fine and wanted to navigate
it ask you these three questions and where do you actually access the screen
you actually access this under the main menu under setup and then it's under routing routing
and here our base activity on the device is hiking but we can change that calculation method is what
we're looking for it's set to prompt but we can by default choose distance time or sent here we'll do
it like this or if i want i just change it to minimize distance and now i can go back
all right again do the find and now it should just calculate automatically doesn't give me the choice
there you go and then you have your turning prompts right there
so there you go that is quickly about turn by turn navigation using the gps map 66 series you
