    OZTopo doesn't do auto routing. Not even v3 just released.

    You can plan routs in Mapsource & upload them to your GPS, then it will highlight the way if you have the route selected.

    Yes, you can route with Topo v2 and 3. I am running this software on my computer with mapsource, on a Nuvi660, on a Nuvi760 and on a Dakota 20. On the Dakota, it does not give voice instructions, but "beeps" and shows the instruction on the screen.

    I reckon you may not have loaded the files correctly.

    Heith1, I think you are talking about Garmin Topo produced by Garmin.
    Yes, this product auto routes.

    I am & I believe the first post was talking about OzTopo as produced by GPSOZ

    GPSOZ even state that their product does not auto route.

    It is however a very good product with highly accurate & detailed mapping, particularly in off road & rural areas.

    Tiny.... Spot on, my mistake. Trouble when you look at the screen with a glass of wine in hand. So pleased to be corrected and not flamed.
