I just created a route on Mapsource, named it, saved it to my laptop, then uploaded it to my nuvi 260. I'm trying to find the route when I fire up my GPS. Where is it?
260 does not support routes.
260 does not support routes. You can load waypoints from Mapsource to GPSr. They show up in your favorites. You can then create a route on your 260.

Thanks for clearing that up for me! I thought that might be the case, but it helps having someone else verify it. I have kinda defaulted to creating routes using waypoints - takes a little time, but it gets the job done! Again, thanks!
We are traveling to California
next week for a motorcycle trip. We are also using a Nuvi 260.
Created a custom POI for each day with waypoints defined (and numbered) that will take us along the route we want and not what the Gamin selected. Loaded each waypoint into the "Recently Found" (in sequence) and can easily select the next waypoint by number when riding. All this took lots and lots of time running the route in simulator mode.
There might be easier ways to do this in a unit that doesn't support routes...but this gets the job done. Looks like it could be time to get a unit that supports uploading routes
