Uploading GPS Waypoints

Q. I have just discovered your superb web site and thought I'd experiment with downloading/uploading GPS data.

Unfortunately my GPS (Garmin e-trex legend c) does not seem to be able to import .txt files so I am unable to upload from the notepad file.

Is there a way round this? (Short of manually entering the waypoints).

Regards.

A. To upload the .txt file containing our GPS Waypoints to your GPS Device you need to use a GPS Utility such as GPSU.

This is available free (as a limited edition) from here and runs under Windows. (A link to this GPS Utility also appears on every GPS Waypoint download page - click here to see an example - walk c213 Helvellyn from Glenridding

At present we do not know of a GPS Utility that runs on an Apple Macintosh (OS9 or OSX). If you know of one please let us know.

Hope this helps, let me know how you get on.
