[QUOTE="wfooshee, post: 882159, member: 6354"] Have a look at my [URL="https://www.fjrforum.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=118469"]thread comparing mapping programs[/URL]. Google Maps to Garmin is discussed [URL="https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php?showtopic=118469&view=findpost&p=597627"]there[/URL], using [URL="https://www.janboersma.nl/gett/index.php"]TYRE[/URL], a very EZ freebie, made for TomTom but exports GPX as well. I need to have a look at some things in Google Maps, now that they've added downloadable maps, and update my posts there . . . . Someday. As for getting the EXACT route from Google Maps into the Garmin, you just can't. Map databases are different, for one thing, so Google's servers see the world differently than your Zumo. It also depends on how up-to-date your Zumo is, because Google's maps are pretty much as near up to date as possible. Basically the GPX file goes into the device and it recalcs from there. Better would be GPX file into Mapsource and make needed adjustments there, as the Mapsource route [I]will[/I] go exactly into the Zumo. (But don't let the Zumo recalc it or all bets are off!) As for the Mapquest driectly loading, it loads start and finish, waypoints, and the device calculates. Again, maybe the route changes. [/QUOTE]
