I have an XXL 540 S. My job is to go to houses and take pictures of foreclosed and abandon homes. I do around 100 a day. What I would like to do in try to download all the addresses that I have to go to in that day to my GPS from my computer. Is this possiable?

I know it would go through the itinerary, but not sure if I could create one then import it in to my GPS,

Well, you can only have 48 points per itinerary though you can have multiple itineraries saved. Plus you have to consider that although you can create itineries from addresses, unless they are sequenced, you may find the route created is convoluted to say the least.

That said, there are various tools available such as those found here:

and here's a link which purports to indeed optimize a route/itinerary:

That application at the 2nd link does a half decent job. It is only necessary to specify the 1st and last points -- it sorts out everything in between. I take *.gpx files, sort them, and spit them out to *.itn files. If configured to do so, it will also split into multiple *.itn files if you have more than 48 points in the original set.
