All routing Metroguide maps WILL autoroute on the GPSr if you upload them using Sendmap rather than by using Mapsource. I have found the best way to do this is to use the img2gps GUI for Sendmap. Basically, select which tiles you want to send to the GPS using Mapsource in the usual way. Save this list as a .gdb file. Open the .gdb file using Img2gps, and send it! Hey presto, routing data is transferred as well. (Mapsource deliberately strips this out as it transfers it.) http://homepage.ntlworld.com/mdipol/img2gps/

I have a new 60Cx updated to 2.50 firmware and am running Windows 2000 Pro SP4 on Virtual PC 7.02 on a Quad G5 running Tiger 10.4.4. I am using version 2.1 of the Garmin USB drivers, and the latest version of Mapsource. Mapsource happily reads and writes tracks, waypoints and routes from the GPSr over USB. POI loader also works without problems. Mapsource fails when trying to write maps direct to the unit, but will happily write these to a memory card in a USB card reader. Also, I am fairly optimistic, given Garmin's policy so far on software support, that the forthcoming OSX version of Mapsource may be a free upgrade.
