Yes the Garmin is battery powered. I use the truck power to save on batteries. Also the screen is small and with my eyes it's very difficult to view the map. Thelaptop provides a much better view of the map. I purchased the 60C to be available for hiking, geocaching etc. and it made sense to me to use it as the receiver for traveling.
I found that I like Streets & Trips better than Map Source for trip planning. It's a lot easier to adjust the route if you don't like what the program automatically plotter. Also Streets & Trips is easier to find locations and faster.
So you have got MicroSoft's Streets & Trips to use your 60C as the GPS receiver for your laptop. If so can you please elaborate? thanks
