GMDL direction problems

[oisuxx]

everytime i try to make directions with gmdl0.5.02a
it never matches up. the directions are all wonkey. how do i make it so that it plots the same course that its showing on the map?

did you choose the right icons?

input first : from: street,postzip,place
to: street,postzip,place
push the button list and now it comes.

choose the right icons you will show.

save with _route and copy the file into your mapfolder.

yes, i finally figuired out what was wrong, i had the zoom too far in, on GMDL
i had to set the zoom farther out to make it plot the directions the same.

I think I have a similar problem. It gives me one way of getting there, but when I open the POI i the PSP and shows a different way of getting there. Anyone know why this is?

troll, thats what was happening to me.
theres a ZOOM drop box that you have to zoom out to i think i had it at 5.

when its zoomed in i kept getting "points do not match up in the end" error.

I don't see the Zoom drop down menu. help!

"create intermitten every" drop down to X6
or something like that

I too am having an issue with the GMDL directions feature. I have used the feature before and have not had this issue.
I am trying to make directions for a trip out of state. When I make the directions as I always have they look and seem fine. When I copy them to my PSP the directions are different than the ones I made.
By different I mean that they are accurate and look correct on my map but are literally totally different directions.
I'm trying to visit North Eastern AL. The route I make in GMDL takes me through South Eastern TN (as I want) but when I look at them on my PSP the directions take me through Birmingham, AL and not through TN.
If anyone has any idea of what may be happening please drop a note here. I am at a loss.

what was happening with mine......it was just plotting straight lines. when i did what i posted above you anonjohn, it fixed that problem
changing the zoom level of the map. then changing the
"create intermitten every" drop down to X6

i remember the "create intermitten every" drop down to X6 i forget what zoom level in the map i was at.
