If you bought it and haven't opened it yet, take it back, as Woody said,
2006 had been out for a while now and has more usable enhancements that any
version they have done yet. It will work with our Garmin.
You don't need a degree to solve the traveling salesman problem. Just enter
a start and finish, calculate the route. Then "insert" all your stops, and
the app will order them in a logical progression from the start to the
finish, no matter how you insert them. Note the "insert", as you can also
"add" them, which puts them in the order you add them regardless of logical
order.
