I have a Zumo 220 and want to plan a route on my computer and download it to the Zumo.  I find that Basecamp is difficult use (that probably has more to do with me than the program).  Is there an easier program for dummies to use for this?  Thanks.

I use MicroSoft street & trips, it works great planning out the trip and creates a Garmin custom route file.

Once you get used to Mapsource, it's actually pretty easy.

It is not that we have less time, it is much time that we use wrong.

I got pretty frustrated with the HD Ride Planner.  I don't know why, but it won't work.  I tried the Tyre program and it is great.  Does everything I wanted it to do.  Thanks for the suggestions.

I had some issues with RP yesterday. Switched to a different browser and all was good. I just add waypoints along the way to force the 660 to stay on track instead of rerouting. Also make sure you have your gps avoidance settings dialed in so it will stay on the correct route.
