Route maps - how to create for users?

I need to find a way to create a designated route for our MINI Club members to download for their Garmin GPS. We normally just use Google maps but I'd love to find a more precise way to let our drivers know when a turn is coming up on one of our drives.
Is there a way to do this? If so, can someone give me detailed instructions? I have a 1350T to test with.

See http://www.poi-factory.com/node/16400 .The unit has to be able to do routes.The 1350 does not have that ability.Why not just make a custom poi file of all the locations? See http://www.poi-factory.com/node/25721 .

If you create a POI file with a separate POI for each turn, the turns will show up in order when you select that POI. Further, if someone selects the final destination under GOTO, and then selects a VIA as the next listing on the POI, it will be inserted. Once they pass the first VIA, they can select the next POI stop, The names for each POI should be in sequential order for the trip. A little Rube Goldberg, but it should work.

That would mean stopping to make that adjustment during the drive. Not safe doing it that way or during driving
Ahem...
Create Waypoints, anyone...?
This is a standard work-around for those units that do not route.

No way to do it
Hey Twister,
Since your unit does not have routing and you do not want to build a POI file with the various turns as waypoints, due to safety reasons, I see no way to do what you need.
