I beleive I am receiving as a gift a StreetPilot c330. :-) (will be my
first GPS)

I have been doing a lot of reading lately and the c330 seems to have
everything I need / want...expect for one thing...a home pc program to
help me preprogam my waypoints and maybe edited routes to locations. I
would like to be able to make custom routes say I want to take a one
day site seeing trip and make a big circle to catch all the different
locations in the area. (I love driving!...so to me "lost" is just
another way of saying "site seeing"...but for the wife she always wants
to know exactly where we are and where we are going)

I see that garmin has Trip Planner/POI Manager for cheap but I can't
find what units it will work with.

Does any know of another program that works with the c330 or how to get
the unit to allow me to edit the route?

Thanks,


c330

Hmm - bad luck - comes pre-loaded with maps

Gamin's "Trips and Waypoints Manager" is Mapsource without maps -
excellent for playing with waypoints.

If the c330 is like the c320 - you can't download a track log -
because it doesn't store one :(

Personally - I would get the c320 and the Mapsource maps - best of
both worlds - plus you can load what ever country etc you want to -
onto the SD cards
