Cool. You could I assume create routes (with the ViewRanger site, or BikeHike, or ...) and export them to gpx format for import to the 500
Yes.
You can export as gpx from most route planning websites. But the Garmin Edge 500 may not support these files so I convert them to one of the following Garmin Course formats, .tcx or .crs with the following http://www.gpsies.com/convert.do
As far as I know .crs is the preferred format of the Edge 500 (at least in the way I use it, i.e. like a generic USB device), however you can load a .tcx file but when you next turn on the Garmin it will convert the file, so you may as well use .crs.
