Idiots guide to using a Sat Nav !!!!!!!!!!! help.

[whirlybird]

Help, due to my sons refusal to accept that technology occasionally breaks, how can I download a pre-planned route off Google Maps to my Garmin Streetpilot c550
via my iMac, that way I can decide the better route home from Uni to Norfolk (and not the SN that takes him almost around the planet the wrong way !!!!!) I need it in layman's terms
as my total IT skills are > turn it off -----then turn it back on again !

Hi, thanks for that, BUT how do I set waypoints on the Garmin, (In layman's terms) need my son to use the M4 out of Cardiff via Swindon, Oxford, Bedford, Cambridge, to Kinks Lynn (A10), not via M5/M42,M6,A14, A141, he always gets lost around Coventry ?????

Just checked TYREtoTRAVEL, and its Windows only, and sods law I run an iMac, thought technology was here to help !!!!
Any other ideas, can't be that hard.???

Solve the problem, not the symptom. "Accidentally" forget the satnav, spot a supermarket petrol station, spend £1.99 - and ask him to navigate...

Its his own car, so most of the time he,s travelling by himself, and when he gets lost he can't tell me where he is so I can guide him home, but at the end of the day
kids and wives will always know more than there dads and husbands, !!!!!!!!
