5Garmin MapSource Trip and Waypoint Manager
By Dick Jensen
I not long back purchased a Garmin Quest2 which comes with all the software installed and no supplemental CD with MapSource, etc. I necessitated to install maps I received from New Zealand. Garmin says it won't install maps, but it installed them very nicely. Further it has proven an splendid trip planning tool permitting me to set up routes and waypoints at home and upload them to the Quest2 before we leave for New Zealand. Much having little impact than attempting to set them up on the Quest2 directly.

5It DOES install maps
By Shane
As per the reviewer below, I may confirm, it does in truth install maps. Why does Garmin says it doesn't? Because they don't want you loading your GPS with all the free maps that are now available. How a company may genuinely tell straightout lies to it's clients to protect it is own interests is beyond me. And no, it's not an Amazon error, they likewise say ON THE CD ITSELF that it will not install maps!

3Basic, but inexpensive
By David Nierenberg
This software is VERY basic and does not offer a whole lot of capability. I sync it with a Garmin Foretrex 101, which does not have mapping capabilities. My plan was to map out cycling routes on the software and import them into the GPS. However, the trip and waypoint manager only has major roads (Interstates and a lot of US highways) available for navigating. It likewise only has major bodies of water. It is nice software if you just want to keep track of where you've been and how to get there again, but don't plan on creating routes from scratch (unless, of course, you have predetermined the lat/long coordinates).
