Mike, you might try to contact I Wear Square Pants. He uses Streets
and Trips and has a way of getting the WP's onto the map. I have used
the program with my GPS attached and it shows a little red car
indicating your position. You can lay out a route from cache to cache.
Not sure if that is what you are looking for, but you can pick it up for
about $15 or less. Bernie

- 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.

Is anyone using OziExplorer. I was reading about it and it soundsdo
good. But since it costs $, I'm not so sure I can't find freeware to
the same. (Hey I'm cheep, we homeschool our kids and I have to watch $) Does anyone have info about it or suggestions of other freeware?I'm
currently using Watcher and EasyGPS.
