    Garmin GPS users

    How are you guys planning routes and uploading way points to the Garmins? Mapsource or some other software package? I use MS Streets & Trips but I don't know of a way to save a gpx file for upload.

    There are about a million ways to do it but takeitwithme is a cool one. Make a map using Google maps and then use this site to download it to your unit.

    I use Mapsource. With Points of Interest you need to download the POI uploader from Garmins wesite.

    My Garmin (Nuvi 360) didn't come with MapSource. I thought I read online that it is compatible though. Anybody got a "trial" version?
