A couple of things to contribute. First, S&T 2013 had no problem converting and using my old routes. Second, to me, S&T is the ONLY way to plan a route. I can see the whole route and easily make changes to avoid places and roads I don't want to visit. Third, once I have my route set (like from central Florida all the way to Playa Del Carmen) I export it to a GPX file and save it on an SD chip like I have in my camera. Then insert the chip into the Garmin NUVI. Then, I turn on the NUVI and and select "Custom Routes". The routes on the chip will show up, click on the one you want and it will be set in the NUVI. The only thing is that I got a message that the route was too long for the NUVI to handle all at one time, but would automatically extend as I drove. On the last trip to Mexico, it worked very, very well. I don't like to have the S&T GPS running all the time we're on the road. 8 to 10 hours sitting on the dash is too much.
