I have solved all the problems. Their customer service is really good. I emailed them the problem and got it taken care of.
Garmin to google earth directly: yes its possible. once GE detects it, you will have 2 icons on the top that become active. I dont remember what exactly they are called but something like Receive info and Send Info. you will see it.
Garmin is great once you spend a few days learning it all. Email me if you had questions.
Just in case you have a mac, this is how I solved my problem: I downloaded a software they have on the website that updates your garmin. (I bought my garmin used and it was I think 2006 model. Never been used , never hooked up to a computer) I hooked up my garmin to that and updated the software. Then , roadtrip which is a garmin software (downloaded from their site) was able to see it. GE too. Look around you may be able to find a decent used one. I got a great deal:$150 from Craigslist+cigaret lighter charger+extra antena that goes on the car+ rack that goes on the dashboard + its holster. And its never been used. The newer version of the same one is selling for about $300.
