Original and unlocked maps are posted, because some people prefer it, to unlock their maps themselves. Maybe they fear that unlocked maps lost some data. Many maps are available in two formats: a) MapSource- (also gmap-, CD- or DVD-) format for usage on PC with MapSource, BaseCamp, MapInstall for trip planning and creating individual map images and b) Image-format for direct usage on device or SD card. Important to know is: You can make a fully functionally Image from MapSource version but you can't make a real MapSource version from Image (some data will lost). That means, the image version is easier to handle, but mapsource version is more variably.

Mapsource will allow you to plan your route on a PC as you stated.
In order to make use of that Mapsource functionality, your GPS must also be capable of 'saving' the routes you planned. I'm not familiar with YOUR gps but some models don't allow you to transfer or even save routes you created in mapsource. Conversly, some models allow you transfer and save multiple routes from mapsource. There are also some models that allow multiple routes to be planned and saved and all on the GPS.' I mention that because it's not uncommon to plan route(s) that you like using mapsource only to find that when you put them in the GPS, you end up with a different route. That is because when you call up the route, the GPS does it's own recalculation based on the start and end points along with any via points you have added.
The GPS recalculation will certainly route you through the points you have defined but may use different roads to go between them and the routing algorithms are not identical.

I'm off to Florida on Tuesday and it seems getting my TomTom to work with a USA map is proving difficult so I've borrowed my dad's Garmin Nuvi 1340. I have a spare Micro SD card so am I right in saying that if I download the 'image' of one of the USA maps on here and pop it on the SD card then put it into the device it will work?
