Make sure "Include route Calculation Data" is checked (If you don't tick this then the map can't do routing)

Some of time the "Include route Calculation Data" option is greyed out but don't worry. Just ignore it and proceed with map

transfer.

You can opt to exclude our polygon maps. Without the polygon maps, map display is less attractive and informative but screen

refresh rate will be faster. It is recommended that you omit polygon maps if you are using Mobile XT on older mobile phones or

earlier Garmin devices.

Turn off U-turn avoidance for better route guidance

For Nuvi Serial (Tools -> Settings -> Navigation -> Avoidances -> untick "U-Turns")

For Mobile XT (Tools -> Settings -> Routing -> Avoidances -> untick "U-Turns")
