Is there a way to set my 260W to show the entire length of a highway, e.g., Route 192 in Santa Barbara County, CA, USA, in the same manner as the gps will outline the route from one specific spot to another? I understand I could accomplish the task if I knew a specific address at each end of the road, but I don't....
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
In a word, no
Not without a destination. Try using cities, or towns along the way though.

If you are at the start of
If you are at the start of the highway then you could tell the Nuvi to plot a route to the end of the highway by using the Where To-> Browse Map command. If you are not at the start of the highway turn on the GPS simulator (Tools-> Settings-> System-> GPS Simulator), then use Browse Map to set your location to the start of the route then use Browse Map again to plot a route to the end of the highway.
It might not work though, because the Nuvi will not necessarily stay on that particular highway if it thinks there is a better route. You could try using via points (if your unit has that feature) to keep the plotted route on the desired highway.
