Is there now a way to download Google Maps?
Yes there is.
I have not yet prepared a complete step-by-step "how to" yet.
None the less, here is a basic sketch.
Firstly, Google for: google my maps
(This feature is not available from Google's standard menu options.)
Click "Create a Map"
Enter a few places, note that each place has a "Add to map" menu feature. Go ahead and add each one.
After it's added to the map and appears in the left column - you can click on the place and it will bring up that spot on the map.
Look closely at that spot's menu box and there is a "wishbone arrow" icon - hover over it to see: "Direction to here"
Then click it. That creates a new "layer"
After you've created that new layer you will see "Add Destination" - from there you can add more waypoints/destinations.
At the top of the left menu look for the three dots:
Click the three dots for a drop down menu - select: Export to KML
The KML file will default to a KMZ file which can be shared OFF LINE and exported directly into a Garmin GPS unit via Basecamp.
There is definitely a learning curve.
Once learned, it is fast, accurate and current.
