Garmin GPS and Mapsource

Can anyone give me a list of Garmin GPS units that have the ability to use Mapsource to load a GPX file?

Cannot find it anywhere.

Look for ones that support multiple point routing on Garmin's site. In general it's any model that lists a number other than zero in the "Routes" field on the specs tab of a device.

Try this link for the units that Garmin currently sells that support the multi stop routing feature:

fwiw, I find I get better results generating the gpx file in Mapsource and then manually copying it over to the GPS unit (a 755 in my case). I found the direct export function seemed to have trouble with overwriting existing files on the gps unit and that just created more of a mess to clean up.

Thanks Jeff!

I might need to catch up with you at the next ride to see exactly what you are doing. I never have the route when I'm with THMMC and it's irritating.
