U.S. Topo 3.02 will *not* autoroute. I have it on my 76Cx.

Actually, it comes on three CDs. One CD each for East, West, and
Alaska/Hawaii. Those are installed and MapSource allows selection of
the area you want and uploads it to the card in the 76Cx.
As always with MapSource, if you are going to have maps from more than
one product on your GPS (City Navigator NA and U.S. Topo for example)
you have to select the maps from each product and upload them all at the
same time. You cannot add or remove maps to/from a map that is already
uploaded. You have to create a new map with the desired changes and
upload it, overwriting the existing map.

When I first got the 76Cx, I had MetroGuide V5. That auto routed on the
PC but MG V5 maps uploaded to the 76Cx did not autoroute.
I also uploaded a map that had both MetroGuide V5 and U.S. Topo maps in
it. Eventually I got CN NA V8 and quite using MG V5.
I also converted some MG V5 maps to autorouting using the method here:

The converted MG V5 map worked fine for autorouting and I used it for a
couple months before I got CN.
