Select a list of stops using the new Streets and Trips 2010 and it will produce a GPX export file as below... which is a list of route points with their latitude, longitude and name. It can be exported directly into most GARMIN units, but not into my ASUS R300, which runs IGO8, as it does not convert into a route.dat file for the IGO8 system.

Note that this is each point, with its date and time, latitude and longitude, elevation and then number of satellites that were being used to obtain the position fix. Thus the output can be used to geocode where you've been.
Where it fails is if you import a GPX file produced by another product. It ignores the date and time, and then will export a file without the date and time, so you no longer can calculate speed or use the output file to geocode anything. It also alters the latitude and longitude in any imported file for some reason, abet with a very minor change that is meaningless.
So I would like to be able to take the first type of GPX file, produced from the selected points along a route that is being prepared, and be able to import it into my ASUS R300 as a routexxx.dat file, but the output from Route Converter does NOT work for that at all.
