When I use Garmin MapSource to transfer the route to the GPS, I get a 
"Route truncated" message on the GPS.  But the route (or at least some 
of it) appears to be there, and the GPS seems happy to navigate by it.

It'll be a few days before I get back to Yass to realistically test the 
behaviour.

This is my first foray into using the route function on my Garmin 76CSx 
handheld.  My car GPS (Garmin Nuvi 1350) doesn't support routes.

Thanks again for your help - we've advanced my knowledge of how routing 
works.  But my understanding is still primitive.  I need to do a lot 
more research, experimentation and thinking.  I'll get back when I've 
got some definitive answers.
