You can download the routes from your laptop to a little itty bitty little memory device about the size of chicklet. Stick the chicklet into the Garmin and you're in business. I forget why but that was my process for route updates on the 810 but on the 1030, I connect it directly to my laptop. Maybe much more memory on the 1030 and I did not need the extra capacity
