Based on the specs it will do as well as any of the current models. You may need some assistance entering waypoints into it though.

visit www.magellangps.com and follow links to their online manuals. I didn't see one for the 2000XL, but the others may be useful in that many of the functions are similar and you could probably determine how yours works based on how the others funtcion.

 

You might also try having them mail you a manual for your unit.

 

Good luck.
