FYI: the Op didn't ask for an opinion on whether or not to use a GPS. He ask for information on the best way to plan rides on the computer and then be able to download them to the GPS.

He didn't ask about whether or not to use a horse and buggy either.

I downloaded a couple of the madmaps from the Garmin website...not bad but helps to have the regular maps to get an idea of where exactly the rides are at. I'm down here in Texas...It's LARGE! I'm going to use the mapsource from now on while planning rides...much easier than the HD ride planner.

I plan all of mine with the software that came with the GPS. makes it real easy to load into the unit that way, and you are working with the same "Language" so you don't need to convert file types.
I play around with Microsoft Streets and Trips as its more user freindly than the Garmin MapSource program, but once I figure it out, I route it all on Mapsource and then onto the GPS
