You may want to take a look at Garmin BaseCamp - it's FREE.
http://www.garmin.com/en-US/shop/downloads/basecamp
The BaseCamp software download is small - only 105 Mb. and installs easily on your PC (or MAC). However, it uses the map base stored in your Garmin GPS (or until you download a map update for your Garmin GPS). My last map base update for my RV-660LMT was 6.5 GB and took several hours to download over my slow broadband. Also the program will complain if you don't have an internet connection when you try to find a specific POI. Garmin does have some training videos to help you get started.
