You can open the bikeroutetoaster generated course in garmin training center and replace the "right", "Left" etc with the street names from the overlay and upload to 500. That way, you have a turn symbol (right/left/straight) but the prompt you get on Edge 500 is "Beach Dr" with the turn symbol. I just discovered it yesterday, so I haven't run/rode the course with edge 500 yet though. I'll try a short section of my saturday ride this weekend.
Isaias,
As a rule of thumb, after how many turns are you splitting the course into separate sections?

I use both toaster and ride. Toaster for the turn warning when I map a new course. Ride has turn by turn but no warning, usually after I make my turn it will tell me to turn, I need to know this before hand. Ride is easier to map courses.

I have been using toaster even since I got my 305. It is really cool and truly replaces a cue sheet. The issue is that Garmind devices has that 100 course points limit so sometimes you can 't really have every turns built into the route. But toaster has an advantage over RideWithGPS is that you can choose to add/delete cource points as you build the route. So for turns that you are familiar with you can skip the warnings; of course, if you are off course it will warn you either way.

While we're on the topic, is there a good site for pulling up already created cue sheets for awesome rides in your area? Maybe you can do this with toaster, I don't know.
I remember back in my mtn biking days, there used to be trail reviews with location of the trails and descriptions that users could vote on on mtbr.com. Was a great system.
