Question with reading the GPS map from Garmin 305

Hi,

When I change to the map mode from 305, the route is quite vague, I don't see any street name. I would like to know if anyone use the 305 as the nav.? if you do, how can i setup the map? and how can i tell where to make turn at if there is no street name? Thanks

You need the Garmin Edge 605 or 705 if you want to see a map with street names.

Where the Streets Have No Name?
D*mn, that problem sounds familiar.

I thought it shows route. Then why does it have map view?
