Jim,
There are several ways you can do this, depending on what programs you have.
And you'll probably get better ways that what I'm saying.
The PQ will not do the route the way you want, but it's in the works they
say. So for now, you'll still have to pick points and use the radius method
like you do now.
But, GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife) can do it for you. After you load
the GPX file from your query into GSAK, select Search, then Filter.
This will open a large window with lots of options for displaying just the
caches you want. There is a button on the lower right labeled "Arc, Line,
Polygon". click it and follow the directions. It allows you to put in 2
points and specify a distance from that line to include (or exclude) all
other WP's. You can also put in multiple WP's between the start and end if
the highway isn't very straight. Then send the remaining caches to your GPS.
Another option, since you have Mapsource, is to load all the caches into
mapsource and you'll see them on the map. Then use the mouse to "marquee
select" or multi select the caches out of range from the highway and hit the
delete key. That will delete those WP's. Do this as much as needed along
your route. Then put the remaining WP's into your GPS.
