The Garmin proprietary protocol is well documented by Garmin themselves. I
can't say about Street Atlas. Besides SA 3, 4, 5, and 6 format, G7TOWin will
also output:

Text Files
Ozi waypoint, route, plot, and event files
CSV (comma separated) format
Navigate.exe route files
Fugawi waypoint and track files
Garmin almanac files
Screen shots of some Garmin and LEI GPS units

The latest G7TOWin will also send directly into SA if it is already running.

<Disclaimer> This sounds like a commercial but I'm not associated with Ron
Henderson or G7TO in any way other than I'm real happy with his program. And
it's free, so who can complain?
