Hey Glenn, thanks for the response.
I just downloaded gsak and they were recommending oziexplorer for
mapping. What I am looking for is a program (preferably free or really
cheep) to run on my laptop (with garmin attached) to show the info that
is on the screen of the garmin (moving current location, caches, map
w/streets-topos). My 40-something eyes have trouble looking at the
garmin & the road at the same time (at least that's what the cop said!)
I am going to try out gsak (it looks like a good GPX management tool),
the only complaint with watcher is that I can't output waypoints to the
garmin without going over to EasyGPS. Seems like one program should be
able to do both.

i messed with oxExplorer quite some time ago and I didn't know what to
do
with it then but it looked pretty good.
the watcher/expertGPS is a good combination and I am quickly becoming to
really like the GSAK http://gsak.geocaching.com.au/ program. It is
like
watcher and several programs combined. the next revision will have the
waypoint download to the GPSr's that the easy gps has. I am liking it a
lot
for a watcher type of program. (it free too)
Still, the easiest way to grab a bunch of waypoints and quickly put them
on
a topo or aerial map is expert gps.
I messed with quakemap that does map imports but i am not as handy with
it
as i am with expertGps.
