MapCreate is the easiest method for preparing a route, simply because

To load a MapCreate route into the unit, follow instructions in Map-
Create's manual for creating a route and saving it as part of a GPS
Data File (file format *.usr). Copy the GPS Data File to an MMC and
insert the MMC in the unit. (See Sec. 2 for instructions on installing
MMCs. To load the GPS Data File into the unit's memory, see the entry
on Transfer Custom Maps & GPS Data Files in Sec. 3, Basic GPS Op-
erations.)
