Garmin Trip and waypoint manager

Can anyone explain what this software can do as I can not find a proper review on it.

Can you input a list of OS map references and download them as named waypoints to the GPS as a route ?

or do you need to use the map to do it, ? which wont be much good for off road routes. Any knowledge appreciated.

Thks.

I haven't used Trip and Waypoint Manager as I understand it talking to others that have, is that it basically is what it says. A Trip Manager and a Waypoint Manager. This allows you to create co-ordinates on your PC and download them to the GPS and vice versa via cable.

It doesn't include any detailed maps, so you still need MapSource if you're looking for maps.

Thanks Dave,

Can anyone confirm that this Garmin software works like GPS utility in that I can just type list of UK OS co-ordinates in a list.

If so this seems much cheaper than things like memory map where I have to move a cursor around screen. I have lots of paper maps to read co-ordinates from and type in.

Thanks.

Thanks Dave,

Ive read that page before but it doesnt give the way you input co-ordintaes to the computer ie type in or point to a map.

Was hoping someone who has used it could explain.

Cheers.
