Which nuvi's allow uploaded routes?

Hi all. I am looking at buying a new Garmin automotive unit and was wondering if the newer units support loading routes from Streets and Trips and similar programs like my nuvi 760 does? If not all, which ones do? Thanks!

They do, except for the lower end models. But be aware that Garmin has replaced the "Custom Routes" and legacy multi-point routing function on your 760 with something called Trip Planner. Trip Planner will convert routes created in S & T to trips. The main difference between trips and routes is that the Trip Planner processes each waypoint as a destination and splits the route into multiple segments that are automatically linked together. This has some side effects in navigation that many users have complained about. Just Google Nuvi Trip Planner vs Routes and you will find lots of discussion about it.
