It's simple. Go to the Garmin website, go to Technical Support,
fill out the form, and carefully explain your suggestion. Unlike
with most other companies where the suggestion seems to disappear
into a black hole, I get a response from a Garmin representative
a few days later saying they've forwarded the suggestions to
engineering.

The main things on my wish list are longer waypoint names and
longer comments for waypoints. The screen on the 60C(S)/76C(S)
already has room for 15 character names and 54 character comments.
Also, MapSource already seems to be able handle those lengths.
If you'd like to see longer names and comments too, send them
some feedback too and maybe they'll lengthen it. :)
