I've been along this road, figuratively speaking, with an old Nuvi 205W.
Quite a few people prefer mapsource to basecamp, even though the latter is newer.
There are lots of posts about such things elsewhere in here.

It doesn't look like you can get mapsource any more from garmin and even if you can, I've just spent 2 hours reading the insturctions for basecamp, so basecamp it is!!! I can allow computer things only so much of my time
It seem useful enough and will do the job. I really don't want to be tied to itienry or the route, and I am concerned that I will tie myself to a route I am plotting now which I know is so wrong. I am going to need a little more time to work out how to change tracks on the hoof.
20 years ago I spent 3 months going coast to coast and back in N America taking what looked like the most interesting road at many a junction. It was only at night I would get out the road atlas to get going in the right direction.
Now I have time constraints, so I need a bit of a better idea of where I am and how I can get back. So htere is another challenge, but so far so good, we're getting there on my miserley budget.
I'm hoping Grant will give me space to write a blog when I go in April next year. Not that I am going anywhere where no-one else has ever gone but because I like to write about travelling and things just seem to happen to me. my last blog to Sarajevo was really enjoyable to write and was full of 'events'!
I'll keep you informed on the joys of the nuvi 250!
go easy dudes
