I have a Garmin Nuvi 2797 which I purchased because it is large 7", comes with lifetime maps & traffic for Canada, USA and Mexico. and it can import routes. NEVER trust where it routes me on it's own.
I use MS Streets & Trips (Discontinued in 2013).
1. Create a route with all vias you need to go the way you want.
2. Save it and then click Data/Export to GPX file
3. Copy that GPX file to the GPX file folder in your Nuvi
Now to select the route in Nuvi,
4. Turn it on
5. Click Apps -- Trip Planner
6. Find trip GPX that you saved, select it
7. Even then it may route a different way between vias, so add vias if necessary.
