waypoint organization
 

What software is everyone using to organize their waypoints and load them on their gps? I have been doing it manually for years like a hard head.

what brand of gps do you have?

Garmin and a lowrance

I use the mapsource program by garmin. For your garmin system you can hook up straight to your computer and download files or download them to a card. For lowrance I have saved them as a different file type, .gpx I think, and saved them on an sd card to put in my unit

EASYGPS, Garmin Basemap and Navionics

Easy GPS is probably the best for more than one brand

Thanks guys. Looks like that will save me some time.

Easy gps works wonders

I have a garmin 541s. I don't thinks it's compatible with my unit from what their site says.

It's free, download and try it.

I did. looks like a good program but it will not upload to my unit.
