I have a Garmin 2610 and have recently purchased v8 maps and a 2gb cf card so I can have all US maps loaded at the same time.
How do you manage maps, routes, and waypoints? The nice thing about loading the entire US maps is that I don't need to download them again until v9 comes out. DLing routes is very fast, as is ULing routes, but DLing the maps takes about 90 minutes.
In mapsource, I selected all the maps (it would have been nice to have a "select all" option), and saved the file as "Entire_US". I created a waypoint named "Home" and a few others for relative's homes and for places I want to visit. Do you normally DL waypoints to the gps, or do you just use them to create routes with mapsource and DL the routes?
I have a file of waypoints for Honda dealers that just might come in handy. How would you suggest handling those waypoints?
Just looking to hear suggestions from those with more experience than I.
Thanks in advance.
