Install:

and upload from Garmin's "Mapsource".

That might work for the majority of Garmin handheld devices, but it won't
work for their panel mounted equipment like the 430/530.

The only way that these units will accept waypoint information as input
is when they they are talking to another simular unit and are in 'cross-fill'
mode. *I'm not sure, but this may be a legal requreiment of their use in an

While that may be, it was my understanding that he
is simply doing all this from a desktop computer and
his Garmin is a "virtual" one. If so, then my directions
may solve his need.
