Product Description
From Amazon.ca
The Garmin MapSource Trip and Waypoint Manager is the complete tool for managing your compatible Garmin GPS unit. By using a combination of governmental and private data sources, Garmin MapSource delivers outstanding map details for a wide array of countries and geographic data that you can view on your computer or load on your GPS unit. This software will help you to transfer MapSource information to your Garmin GPS and get the most out of your MapSource data.
The MapSource window contains five main components: the toolbars, data tabs, splitter bar, graphic map, and status bar. Using the Map Select tool, you can highlight a section from a detailed map that you intend to use on your trip. The map selection will then turn pink, and you can transfer that section to your Garmin GPS unit. This feature allows you to download only the information that you'll need. If the map set is too big, you can deselect some regions or shrink the selected area to fit the memory of your Garmin GPS. The MapSource software makes it easy to customize your maps to fit your needs and your GPS unit's capacity.

Before purchasing this product, I suggest you contact Garmin and confirm just how this software will interface with and enhance the features of your particular GPS. Do NOT rely on the information you see on the web site as to compatability. I purchased this product believing I would be able to create a route, with waypoints, of my choice between two points, download the data to my GPS and then that route would be stored in my GPS to be called up at will. Before ordering, I consulted the on-line chart which indicated the software was compatible with my GPS. When the software arrived, I installed it on my computer - no problems there - and then created a short "test" route (not too compicated a task). Once the route was created, I transferred the data to my GPS - no problem there either. However, when I powered up the GPS the route I'd created was not recoverable. I contacted Garmin and was advised that while my GPS was compatible with the software (in that it would accept a data transfer)the GPS was limited in it's ability to recover all the data and create the desired route. All I can do is recover one additional waypoint - totally disppointed that I wasted $30 and disappointed that Garmin has resorted to deceptive (ar at least incomplete) marketing techniques. Of course, they accept no responsibility only pass on the sage advice "should have called us first".
If only I could give this less than a one-star rating!!!!

Garmin MapSource Trip and Waypoint Manager

I recently purchased a Garmin Quest2 which comes with all the software installed and no supplemental CD with MapSource, etc. I needed to install maps I obtained from New Zealand. Garmin says it won't install maps, but it installed them very nicely. Further it has proven an excellent trip planning tool allowing me to set up routes and waypoints at home and upload them to the Quest2 before we leave for New Zealand. Much easier than trying to set them up on the Quest2 directly.

It DOES install maps

As per the reviewer below, I can confirm, it does indeed install maps. Why does Garmin says it doesn't? Because they don't want you loading your GPS with all the free maps that are now available. How a company can actually tell outright lies to it's customers to protect its own interests is beyond me. And no, it's not an Amazon error, they also say ON THE CD ITSELF that it will not install maps!

Basic, but inexpensive

By David Nierenberg

This software is VERY basic and does not offer a whole lot of capability. I sync it with a Garmin Foretrex 101, which does not have mapping capabilities. My plan was to map out cycling routes on the software and import them into the GPS. However, the trip and waypoint manager only has major roads (Interstates and some US highways) available for navigating. It also only has major bodies of water. It is nice software if you just want to keep track of where you've been and how to get there again, but don't plan on creating routes from scratch (unless, of course, you have predetermined the lat/long coordinates).
