How to view the full trip on a Garmin Nuvi 260?

Question

When I enter an address on the Garmin Nuv 260, and after the GPS finds it, the only option I have is to press GO. Is there a way view the entire route before I start the trip? Like a step-by-step listing of all turns, like how Mapquest shows it. Because right now I can only see the next turn when I am approaching it. This would be very helpful on longer trips to know the way its taking me before I get going.

Assuming the nuvi 260 works like my 200, you have to hit GO before it will calculate the route.  Once the route is calculated, press on the green bar at the top of the map screen that gives you your turning instructions.  You will then get a list of all the turns.  There will be a Show Map option at the bottom that will let you see the whole route on the map.  You can also press the readout in the corner of the screen that tells you the distance to your next turn.  It will then show a zoomed in view of the turn along with the text instructions for the turn.  You can page down to see each subsequent turn.
