While researching various options for integrating the GPS into the Wing's Audio system I came across the following statement on the J&A Accessories site that's caused me to question my GPS selection (2820 ordered last week):
"The 2820 is the latest version of the StreetPilot series and includes the features of the 2730 as well as adding the ability to integrate your Bluetooth cellphone All this unit needs is a Radar Detector! The newer units do not come with any software for planning your routes or trips in advance on your computer - all trip planning has to be performed from the touch-sensitive display of the GPS itself."

The 2820 product description states that it comes with the City Navigator NT DVD.
So I guess my question is, can I preplan a route on my laptop and then upload it to the GPS or do I need to plan the route on the GPS...could any 2820 owners clarify this?
I felt like I'd done some pretty comprehensive research on this GPS but if I misinterpreted it's route planning capability..then I just ordered the wrong model...
Thanks,
Al
