I planned our trip using streets and trips. How or can I load it onto my Garmin NUVI 2689

In MS S&T save your trip as a GPX file. For old Garmins use Garmin's MapSource software to load that .GPX file in to your Garmin GPS. For new Garmins us Garmin Ecpress.

Right, but you may need to clean up the .gpx file. For example, when I do an export from S&T, the rtept entries often have "[time]Invalid DateTime-05:00[/time]" which makes MapSource choke. I just do a simple search and replace. FWIW, I also put each entry on a separate line just so it's easier to read.
Other than that kind of cleanup, the transfer process is seamless and easy.
