Mapsource Questions

| I'm a newbee when it comes to GPS. Several questions please.
I just got the MapSource Trip & Waypoint Manager. My GPS is the C330.
If I lay out a route using the software, and download to my GPS, how do
I access that route on my unit?
Also, the software refers to waypoints and tracks. How does a waypoint
differ from a route?
What are tracks?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

| A waypoint is a spot on the map. A route is the space from waypoint to
waypoint but in a systematic way. These can be made on the computer and
uploaded to some GPRs. Tracks are made by the GPR itself.

Didn't your copy of MapSource and your C330 come with manuals?

Yes, but it's just a pamphlet. None of the questions I asked are
discussed in any detail.

Having purchased two Garmin GPS units I find that extremely
difficult to believe. However....
