That would be awesome. BTW the v8 patch really improves both map panning 
on my etrex, as well as routing (though again pretty strange why it does 
because it changes nothing at resolution 24), my only guess is that the 
limitation of memory on the etrex (but also in Mapsource which does seem 
to try to use as few memory as possible for routing - maybe because it 
tries to mimic routing behavior on GPS, even though modern Nuvis route 
much better) and also Mapsource means the less detailed the map, the 
better the routing.
If this were the case then maybe maps only containing resolution=24 
would route better - could be worth a try.

I think Mapsource 6.16 will improve routing which would be really great, 
because one can then use WinGDB and fix the routing behavior with 
additional nodes every X km (intelligently) for the GPS so that it can 
recalculate a route.

Noticed you new patch just poppin in, will try out ASAP.
