Here is the specific issue that prompts my post:

I set up a route on the computer with MetroGuide and everything is fine. I
transfer it, with the waypoints to the GPS, and it looks fine. As soon as I
activate or recalculate it, it drops two of the waypoints and moves the
route to crossing the harbor (by car) and then back across the bridge to go
through the waypoint I put in to force that route instead of the more round
about one it selected first. I verified that the waypoints are in the
correct order and active.

I tried deleting all routes and recreating the route on the GPS. It then
comes up with the same weird, amphibious car required directions.

Does this sound like a user error?

No, but ISTR there is a "known issue" in transfering *routes* from
MetroGuide/CityFoo (i.e. Mapsource) in a PC to units that are 'smart'
enough (& have the cartography loaded) to autoroute *themselves*.

It seems that that GPS see the start & end points and thinks "Pwah! I
can route better than that stupid PC" and starts routing itself - part
of the problem is that intermediate turnpoints (NOT waypoints) are not
always downloaded.

'fraid I can't remember the answer,/workaround but I'm sure someone on
the GPS newsgroups can...
