FYI....you can "EXPORT" the Streets and Trips route directly to a Garmin device or to Mapsource as a GPX file. Saves having to do both.

I did that a few times but found there is just enough difference in the maps that the "points" transferred showed as right on a highway on S&T but were slightly off the road on Garmin's maps. I learned how to use MapSource, that comes free with the Garmin and that matches the maps perfectly since when I do a Garmin map update it also updates mapsource on my computer.
I keep S&T around because it's a lot more user friendly and quick and easy to locate a place or to do a quick figuring of distance, etc. In my pre-Garmin days I used to use S&T on a laptop with gps. Before that it was DeLorme's Street Atlas.
I got the update to S&T downloaded and really appreciate the headsup about the sale. I was thinking recently mine was 3 years old and I know of some changes since then so should update. Thanks again.
