Guys,
Until now I have always been a paper map kind of guy. It is time for me to step up my game a bit.
I have just received a Garmin i5 and have the gizmo velcroed it to my bike. I did not get a manual with the unit. I have figured out the basics of loading addresses and finding where I am. So far so good, but now I am anxious to take the leap to the good stuff.
I want to load routes onto the unit from my computer but am not sure how to link the two contraptions. Is there a good way to load my routes from google maps or mapquest directly into the unit? Is there some sort of software I need to get? It is possible this model won't allow this process.
Any help or websites or links would be greatly appreciated. I have searched this forum and not found this info, but maybe I have missed some thing.
Thanks, it is time for me to go paperless like all of you!:bow1:
