Who rides motorcycles?

There is a way to import GPX maps (not sure of that is the right letters) from a PC to the Garmin. But I haven't tried that. I simply selected 2 points then made 'shaping' changes and then added a 3rd point, shaping again, then a 4th point, shaping etc. until the new route was complete on the Garmin itself. I will try this route today. Garmin has a few phone apps (some suggest TREAD is the best one) that they want you to use for creating routes. Honestly I could drive there as fast as I could create a map to go there so far. There is definitely a learning curve

Agreed, learning curve w. any new device ! Just needs more playtime....

I suspect ^ you are referring to the Steps to Transfer GPX. Tribe here may be able to answer if you are stuck; if not, folks on adv will.

You may be on there already. Lots of tracks posted. No $ needed to hangout, last I knew.
