Guess you need to go to the Garmin web page: https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=31943

Your 360 does not allow you to download specific routes, waypoints etc using Mapsource - you need the 7xx Nuvi series and the 14xx/1500 or Zumo. The choice on Nuvis is rather mindboggling!!

For routing it gets expensive also!!

In the Tomtom range you need at least an XL IQ Routes to get the routes feature (called Itineraries in Tomtom speak).

The 360 a few years ago was a top unit, let down only by its weak volume. The market has however moved on with real time TMC and programmable routes etc from a variety of sources.

A 360 Nuvi is great to get you from A-B or home again but is not much use for rallies, inserting way points or route planning.

For this buy a newer model.
