    I read in another thread that someone had an add-in for Google Earth that allowed routing. I have no idea where you are in NZ, but I just looked, and they have some detailed coverage. With cached maps, could this be a solution? I know that a lot of people are running GE in RoadRunner.

    woodsnuff. look out for the upcoming garmin mobile pc.

    Only problem is it will be sold with US maps. I am not sure if it will be made to adapt to third party map like the way with did with nRoute.

    computer with a generic usb GPS receiver
    run this program "GPSGate" it emulates and gps to pretty much any other format. ($40US)

    get the program nRoute from garmin (unpack the garmin stuff like you would a zip file with winrar, then run the main.msi, that gets around the device detection)

    you can set GpsGate (as in the solution above) output to send to Google Earth.

    edit. I might have misunderstood the question?

    Awesome, I think you've just helped me from the point I got stuck at!!!! I already had gpsgate & the NZ freemaps, I'd just got nroute but after quickly playing with it this morning I was stuck. Your solution gives me a bit of direction now. Thanks woofnstuff

    Ok I get to loading Mapsource. It starts, runs & then I get "MapSource could not find any installed MapSource map products. Please install one or more MapSource products and start MapSource again." What am I doing wrong?
