The 76C/CS _DO_ autorouting. And it is fun using it. It has more
memory for more map storage than the 60 series. Actually, the 76C/CS
and 60 use the same software in some method Garmin cooked up.

In the US, an older version 4.x of Metroguide (no longer commercially
available but might be in some outlets somewhere) allows autorouting
on the 76C/CS.

I do not know what's what with the European mapping software. A US
version of the 60/76 might not have any inbuilt routing ability in
Europe but I don't know for sure.
