Route does not follow roads

Hello all,

I just joined this forum after downloading and installing OSM to my MapSource. So far so good.
Then I created a route to the new map but I keep seeing straight lines from one via point to another, despite the settings in Preferences (CTR-SHFT-P).
Did I miss something?

From which source you downloaded the MapSource-Data? There are several sites providing Garmin-Maps. Some are routable some are not…

Indeed, it depends on the map source you’re using:

On http://garmin.na1400.info/index.html are topographic maps available for the Netherlands, these are not routable
On http://garmin.na1400.info/routable.php are routable maps available worldwide, if you want to use OSM maps for navigation you should use these.

Moved the topic to the Garmin subforum.

It also could be a setting in your Garmin (friend of mine once had the same problem). It just drew a straight line from the current position to the destination. So check your transport settings.

They came from garmin.na1400.info/index.html someone recommended them.
Thanks for the info.
