I know that you are software savvy, but have you updated your software from Garmin?

MapSource...what a POS!!
Every time I go to use MapSource to create a route to load into my GPS I want to throw the f** computer out the window. MapSource has to be some of the biggest dog chit software I've ever seen. It looks like something from 1985!! It can't find addresses, it's a nightmare to click and drag to change your route on the map. Ahhh....POS!! I tried using MS Streets & Trips but it doesn't interface well when sending the gpx file to the GPS. It winds up being half what was in S&T and half what the GPS decided to add.

I have to agree MapSource is not very good.

Have you tried Tyre its a free download which works very well with Google maps,its compatible with Tom Tom and Garmin I use it with my Nuvi 500, it does allow you to plot your own routes with out it creating its best guess on which way you should go.

I used it a few times and made it worked, usually a buddy o mine sends me the map if we are going to the mountains together.,..it isn't that user friendly, you're right.

It really does suck.. you'd think they'd sink more money into it...
I've just got an old Quest, so I guess I figured they were making it better but I was just stuck in 1985... but nooooooooooooo
