Garmin Gps Route Planning Software

Are there any software programs for planning a route then sending it to a GPS device?

I have a Garmin Nuvi and I’m looking for a program that allows me to create a custom route then export it to my GPS. I’d specifically like to avoid the main roads and go a more scenic route but the GPS only picks the quickest route, with or without highways, without allowing me other options for choosing the route. I’ve used Microsoft’s Streets & Trips for planning a route on my PC but I know of no way to export that to my Garmin so that it will tell me to take the specific roads I’ve chosen. Are there any such mapping programs for PC that will allow me to pick all the roads I want then send that to my GPS?

Which model number do you have so we could better help you.
