GPS 60SC and MapSaurce software

I have just got my 60CS and also map source software. I can successfully transfer the map to the GPS. When I create a waypoint and ask the GPS to 'GOTO' I get the message 'route calculation error, no roads near starting point'.

I want to be able to 'GOTO' and have the GPS navigate by roads. How is this done?

I have selected in the routing menu guidance method 'follow road' and as far as I can tell have all my follow road options set correctly.

Where were you when you tried that? On a road? On a road that the device knew about?

From my recollection, MG doesn't provide for automatic routing on the device. I think that you can only create a route on a PC and transfer it to the GPS unit.

Thanks for the help Tim
This could be true. I can plot a route on my PC and transfer it to the device.
What software will do what I want and plot the route as a travel?

You need CitySelect, I think. Its price is more than three times that of MG, though!
