What is the best program/method of creating a trip/waypoints

Hi guys,

I'm new to the GPS scene. I've a Garmin Nuvi 255W

I need to plan a road trip from Adelaide (South Australia) to Melbourne (Victoria) Australia, but I've really no idea what PC program would do the job.

I want to create waypoints I can visit along the way on my PC using a map of Australia & then upload the trip to my GPS

I had hoped Garmin would have some free program to enable you to do it using the map you already have on your GPS or at least the ability to download the same one to use in such a program.

Is MapSource & Trip and Waypoint Manager the same thing? :roll:

Create a trip waypoints

I use online POI Edit and POI Manager. They have all what I need.

Trip planning

As I undestand poi manager is good to store one point at a time

But if I want to store a trip that has more than one stop, so that each time I can load it by one selection and it will folowall of the stops, how can I do that?

Trip planning

Garmin have available a 'Trip and waypoint manager' available on their site, however it's not free.
I did manage to find it elsewhere for free, but cant find where it was now - sorry.
It's probably worth paying for anyway, works great, does exactly what you are looking for.

Cheers,
:)
