Mapsource may some day become your friend.. but at the start, you WILL curse it. Mapsource: A.K.A. "The Devils Program" I've been using it for a couple years now and it still isn't the easiest.. (but the best) It REALLY helps if you can find someone to show you the ropes... learning it on your own is tough.
All the BlueTooth stuff is childs play. EZ Peazy. All my music is on the 660 (stored on the microSD card) and my phone is paired to the 660 which is paired to the SENA, so you can listen to music, hear GPS voice commands and answer the phone. Pretty simple.
It's planning the routes.....
I vote for a Garmin 550/660/665 "How To" seminar at the National!!
I'll attend it ............. twice.
Re: Using Google Maps, it isn't ever going to work just right because the maps in your GPS and Google Maps are different. They are not exactly the same and that will always cause routes to lay improperly. In fact, it's important that the mapset in both Mapsource and your GPS are exactly the same for just that "point".

Theo,
I believe the routing algorithm are all Garmin's... The GPS just takes raw data from "whatever" source you feed it (i.e. Google) and "recalculates" it and lays down the the route based upon:
A.)Garmin Internal routing algortihms (laying it onto your internal mapset in your GPS)
b.) as well as your chosen "routing preferences" in your GPS. (They come into play if you don't have a ton of viapoints forcing everything
What do you think?

However, as long as your route planned on Google (seasonal roads being a big issue) or MapQuest is saved as a route and not way-points, you should also see the route as planned.
{snip}...Don't you mean *.GDB versus *.GPI?????? .GPI are point of interest files, i.e. adding speed traps.
