 LoadedCameraOkay.. time to refresh this thread...
 
 I am totally thrilled with my Magellan Platinum and the MapSend Topo maps..  I have been keeping all my routes and waypoints on my laptop...
 
 My biggest question is:  I would like to find a software that will let me create travel routes and upload them to my GPS.  MapSend Streets and Destinations will let me create routes, but I have to create all the waypoints first. (As I understand it.)  I can do this on my Topo software also, but is an extreme pain if you have never been to a location before.
 
 I found Delorme Street Atlas 2003, but it won t upload the routes to the GPS, but wants to work as a team..  I don t have room in the front seat for the laptop, the GPS and my Wife!!!
 
 It does allow me to enter in a destination and an origin and plot a route between them like MapQuest does, but it is not uploadable to the GPS (As far as I know.)
 
 Does anybody know of a Travel/Trip Planner software that will define point A to Point B routes along highways and roadways and is uploadable to my Magellan Platinum GPS?
 
 Thanks.. This will fill in the missing pieces on my use of my GPS..
