Garmin MapSource Trip and Waypoint Manager Review

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.

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.
You can simplify your pre-trip planning for your next outdoor adventure or business trip by using the MapSource software to transfer waypoints, routes, and tracks between your Garmin GPS and PC. Plan your next trip on your PC, download customized GPS data to your Garmin unit, and hit the road. The Trip and Waypoint Manager also lets you archive your GPS data for future use. And with this software, you can back up waypoints, routes, and tracks that you've saved on your Garmin GPS to your PC, ensuring that you'll always have quick access to all the travel information that you'll need.
This software comes with a general worldwide database that provides basic cartography, including interstates, motorways, oceans, and various other general reference details to help you plan your next trip. Map detail also includes political boundaries and principal cities and towns. This trip-planning CD is designed for use with Garmin units that have no built-in map detail or city point database and is compatible with a wide array Garmin products.
Note: This product does not contain any detailed maps and is not compatible with iQue. See the product's Technical Data for a full list of compatible Garmin GPS units.
