Do it my way. ;-) I had to do the same thing with my 350. Go to View Map
and "scroll" around until you locate the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge on the
screen. Keep hitting the + button on the screen until the bridge is seen "up
close" at least to the point where the eastbound and westbound lanes
separate. If you want directions to head west over the bridge, tap the
westbound section, creating a little square with an arrow pointing to it,
and Save it to your Favorites. (If your 660 is like my 350, "Save" will be
one of the options presented to you after you've tapped the screen to create
the marker.) It should already have a name such as "Verrazano Bridge West,"
or "I-278 West.," so you shouldn't have to make one up.

Thanks. That did it.

Hi

You should take a look at my solution for that.

or


The clips are in French Canadian but it is easy to follow.

I give a very simple POI for example and no address exists for a peer.

This solution works for me and many others.

Greetings

JR

I like to actually find the location in Google Earth and then enter
the lat/long in to my 765T. Then I know for sure I'm dead on.

Which datum are you using for that?
