I use Garmin Connect whenever I'm going on a ride where the route is published beforehand, usually in RWGPS. Just export the RWGPS file as .TCX and then import it into Connect. The climbs and rest stops will show up on the Garmin map, and when you send the route to your unit, they will show up as you ride. ClimbPro will tell you the gradient of the climb and how much longer you'll have to suffer.
