When on the road can you input a location far ahead of you?

It's not a GPS. If you mean for an AM/FM/WB location, just as soon as the signal is clean enough. For the WB, if you mean how far away of a signal can you get, I'm not sure.

I never had the chance to use this on the road because this radio stopped working after two days and I could never get it to work again.If you want to buy a weather radio I would shop around for a different one.

While I am still getting used to this system I was shown the other day at a geocaching meeting how to enter coordinates so if you were hiking you could enter the coordinates for where you wished to hike, but it will only show you how to get there "as the crow flies". It's not like a regular GPS in your car that follows roads & highways. May not be suitable for hiking because of this.

Yes, you can set multiple way points (destinations). You can also select your route by fastest, shortest, major roads etc. Unit has many options.

Yes, it will recalculate and give you the shortest route to your designated location if you miss a turn or choose to take another route. It will adjust based on your gps location.

it will recalculate the route just as all the other TomTom navigation does. but it won`t tell you you had missed a direction. once you drive pass the direction, it will start re-calculating.

really don't think so. the unit is self learning so if you drive the route it will remember it. It also learns the fastest route and will suggest it -if you go to the same place 2 different ways it will learn both and suggest the fastest one.

Yes, you can go backwards as well, but I can't remember it that distance is recorded in the readings!

I'm not sure. I mean, wherever I was, I was able to zoom out and see a map, but not the best map I guess. I used it in the middle of nowhere in Oregon though. It always got me where I needed to go, it just didn't always tell me where exactly I was, if that makes sense. I.e., it directed me from point A to point B, but if I wanted to know what town I was in, or on what road, that information wasn't always on the screen. Hope that helps!

If you mean can you find out how far you hit your ball, then yes. You can set the GPS to "0" at any time and then walk to your ball. It will tell you the distance you traveled.

Mine does the same thing. cant rely on it for estimated arrival. google maps works better.

It only shows you what road you are on when it is NOT navigating to a destination you put in. When you are navigating to a destination the unit is "working" and shows you what it thinks you NEED and that is the NEXT turn and NOT the street you are on. This makes perfect sense. If you are in an area you don't know you don't need the road you are on but rather the road you turn on next and the distance to this road and turn. After all, it already gave you the road you are on when you turned on it. If it just said, "turn on Elm St." then you are on Elm St. :) Make sense?

in most cases it all depends on the voice settings of the GPS. Only certains voices will say the street names. Check the voice settings

Yes it will. When the where to menu comes up go to it. Arrow down on menu will take you to coordinates.

No. The current location isn't always accurate. And the trackr disconnects time from time giving you a false location.

Yes you can. I have my home address in the address book so that from wherever I am I only have to select "Home" and punch "GO" and that's all to get home. No, it does not always optimize the route but if you would like to take a "more scenic" route you can change it's mind and go from there. It will get you back on path.

Ok thanks. I thought mine was broken since I set its preferences to Avoid U-Turns and it was still telling me to "make a U-turn". For some reason it does not have oneway street info for at least two cities here in Oregon with populations over 12000.

Yes. I've never done it; but the manual says you can enter & find locations by geographic coordinates (e.g., helpful when geocaching).
