I am tired of entering WP by hand. Does anyone cache with a Mac
computer? I have a Garmin eTrex Legend. Any hope of being able to
download from .gpx files directly to my GPSr?
MacGPSBabel <http://www.gpsbabel.org/> can read and write oodles of
formats (including .gpx and .loc) to and from your eTrex. All you need
is a data cable and some way to plug it into your computer (in my case,
a serial-to-USB adapter for my PowerBook).
It has an interface that's somewhat tedious, but it's better than
entering waypoints by hand.
You have to download waypoints to your computer (or, I suppose, use the
GPX files from pocket queries, but I haven't tried this) and load them
to your GPSr as a separate step. If I get motivated, I'll figure out
how to run gpsbabel as a protocol handler in the web browser, so one
click will load to the GPSr automatically.
