SAT NAV route display?

[MJZ]

Hello…may I ask a question…I have the RT6 Sat Nav system and I was wondering if it is at all possible to view the route. When I enter a destination, I just see my start point. On my Tom Tom I can see the route, that is, if I’m going from Bude to Plymouth, it will show the towns, villages that I will be going through. The RT6 only shows where you are, even when you zoom out, it doesn’t show the route. I’ve checked views but no option other than orientation etc. The version is a 2.8…do I need to upgrade my maps or is this just something I have to live with. Can anybody else get a view of the actual route? Much appreciate any knowledge parted….thanks
