Default For those with GPS...

I've been reading of people who can plan their route on their computer, then download it to their GPS system (specifically Zumo). Is there a specific program that's used to plan these routes?

Thanks!

Garmin City Navigator is what I use with the Quest. I think it is the same for the Zumo.

MapSource. It comes with the Zumo on the City Navigator disc.

Plan a route on City Navigator, save it as some file name, then click the icon for upload to the Garmin unit.

Your route will be there. Under imported routes.

It is fairly straight forward but you do need to RTFM...Make sure that when you power on your Zumo after downloading the route to your Zumo that you follow the prompt and import the data.

Go here http://www.zumoforums.com/zumo/and you will find lots of hints, tips, and information...remember , search is your friend.

That is a femine remark! Guys don't read maps or ask for directions,just ask my wife! Since we don't read maps, that's why the Lord invented GPS for us. And now you expect us to actually read the instructions? Thats another male forbidden fruit. Whatever happen to discovery learning?
