how to find the nearest interstate with a garmin streetpilot

December 9, 2007

UPDATE: Get the Garmin StreetPilot and nuvi Power User’s Guide – tons of info, fully illustrated – a must have if you’re a StreetPilot or nuvi owner.

. . .

Something I’ve heard off and on from people who see my StreetPilot is the wish that they could just press a button and find the nearest highway.

Well.. at present that button doesn’t exist, but there is another way to do it.


Step 1. Where To?


Step 2. Address


Step 3. Pick your state


Step 4. Find your city


Step 5. Select your city


Step 6. Enter house number as 0


Step 7 (optional). Put the letter I (as in I for Interstate)


Step 8. Press 1 2 3 to switch to the number pad


Step 9. Press dash (optional) then the number of the interstate, then press Done


Step 10. Select the interstate


Step 11. Select the first result


Step 12. Tap Go!

..and that’s it.
