Is there a GPS unit that I could program the Power Tour route into or down load it?

It actually works pretty good when driving solo or with a navigator that is map challenged.

Lars, I bought a Garmin Nuvi 67LMT 6-Inch GPS Navigator for the 2015 tour and followed Allen's directions in using Basecamp. As Allen, said, learning basecamp is initially a challenge but in retrospect a great aid. There are a few youtube videos showing you how to use basecamp that I found very helpful.
In fact I led the posse I was driving with this year with no one in the navigator’s chair. I also used basecamp again this fall for the Northeast Rod Ron

Thanks. I bought the nuvi 2797 and downloaded the base camp. I am working through it now, programing in shorter trips. It does take a little while too learn and enter, but so far this seems to be a great system.
Now my only concern is getting the route in time to get it programmed in before we have to leave for PT.
HEY, HOT ROD MAG, ARE YOU LISTENING? I am usually trying to fix my junk in the days before PT starts and don't have a lot of time to do GPS programming the day or two before we leave.
Hey HOT ROD, how about Garmin being a sponsor for Power Tour? They could all send us the route to download into our Garmin GPS device. One less thing to worry about (for the Long Haulers) in the days before Power Tour.
