[juneau-lug] Re: GPS programs

I have a Garmin Legend, though, when I come up with some extra cash, I'm 
going to buy something like the GPSMap60. It has a better antenna, can 
handle more waypoint and track points, and has maps. I use QGIS to 
download/upload from/to my GPS. I only needed GPSBabel before QGIS had 
on-the-fly projection.
