I am looking to buy a GPS unit for loan or rent to cyclists at our Italian B&B and Tom Tom's Rider 2 is high on
the list, but I am having some difficulties connecting to their help mail, and would love to hear feedback from other users.
The most important thing for me will be to pre-load several route maps into the unit and I can't seem
to find how to draw a custom route in the user manual. For example the User manual says enter a
start point and an end point and then points along the route and the unit will calculate the route. I assume these are names of towns, how about if if an unmarked junction on a country road?Or if you want to override the suggested route. Can you scroll the screen and add points of navigation or interest? Or can you use the touch screen capability to easily draw a route map?
I have made a series of Google route maps, does anyone know if these can be downloaded into the unit? Or can you get hook the unit up to a PC and edit the maps on the big screen?
And one last question, the battery life is a bit short at 5 hours. How easy is it to change a battery on the road if I got a spare?
Thanking anyone who reads this post
