This is scertainlly possible. The two best things for a situation like this
is creating a manual route, which basically are similar to electronic bread
crums. With this you are creating waypoints, which are your bread crums,
with each one you can give it a name, direction, and a description. The
other thing that will be helpful in a situation as a campus is creating
points of interest, which are your personal marking of a building, landmark,
or something special about the area. Like others have said, you can submit
the points of interest that you have created. So, between marking points of
interest and using the "getting warmer" metthod to get to that destination
and actually following a route that you have created, you can navigate a
campus as you would the city.

Is there not a way to create manual breadcrumb routes that are not on
maps? I.E.: creating manual routes from one user poi to another?

Hi KD,
You wrote:
This question is for anyone who has BN GPS. Is it possible to create
your own maps? for example, could I somehow put a map of my college
campus into the system?
No, you can't create and install your own map. However, you can create
your own points of interest (POIs), which you can then use to help you
navigate across campus. For example, you could record a point of
interest at each building where you regularly attend classes, at the
student union building,
the bookstore, the library,
and other locations around the campus that interest you. If those prove
useful to you, you could then send those POIs to Sendero Group, who can
then
incorporate those into the collective user POI file that gets updated on
a
regular basis. That way, anybody else who happens to attend your
college
can later benefit from them. As I write this, it occurs to me that on
some
campuses, there may be buildings that you can't accessed by streets
that
you'd find in the map data, so someone would have to use the "getting
warmer" method to find them, as typical route creation procedures
involving
the map data won't work.
