(just to clarify a little more) World Map is not a "routable" product. If
it were then the 76CS could do routes with it. The 76CS basemap is, but
like Peter said, it ain't so good. :) Although...I was in the middle of
Central China once basically (almost) 4-wheeling to get to a location and a
COW PATH (not with two wheel ruts, but just one!) showed up on the World Map
segment I had loaded. :)
