I recently found that GPS software I was looking for on my Garmin:

Go to www.spotitout.com

They have a software download for about $11. total. It is a travel guide for famous attraction on Route 66 (over 650 roadside attractions available). It is endorsed by Jerry McClanahan & Jim Ross. I'll be using it in about 15 day's when I travel from Chicago to Santa Monica. WhoooooHoooooo!
