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.
