well that sucks. thanks for the info though. now i don't know why i have the III+. V here I come.

I have a GPS III+ that someone gave me and I have Roads and Recreation from Mapsource, but if I take two waypoints (which, by the way, you have to find manually, because it doesn't look up addresses) it will route them, but only by a straight line. I thought it would do turns and stuff (in the software) and then I could upload it? Am I wrong? If I'm not, then this thing really does no good driving then. Thanks guys. Scott

I'm looking to buy a GPS, but I want something that is featured enough to use in a car for motoring. Address-to-address, would be nice, but by the looks of the Garmin ~$450 price tag for the V, that may be too much. Are the eTrex such as the Vista good when you download the routes to them for this sort of thing? I'm lured by the eTrex's size and lack of external antenna, but is that a good thing? I've used GPS systems in cars before (built in) and they're amazing. I want that sort of thing from something small like that. Is this possible? Thanks guys.
