How can I print out my Garmin MapSource Route details once MapSource generates a route?

The fine people at The Garmin GPS Shop/Netherlands have produced a program to decode your Garmin MapSource routes into readable text.  The procedure is:
1) Generate a route anyway you want inside MapSource.
2) Save this route file as a *.mps file to your hard drive.
3) eMail this *.mps file as an attachment to: dumproute@gps-garmin.toecompst.com  (Note: do not zip or compress the *.mps file.)
4) A minute  later, you should receive a  file similar to that below which you can print and use as an assist on your trip.

Too bad Garmin does not have this feature built into MapSource.  It is a needed feature.

Thanks to Garmin GPS Shop/Netherlands for designing this program and for allowing us to make it available to everyone.
