Matt,

I've done just a little geocaching, and there is (free) software available 
here:

http://www.geocaching.com/waypoints/default.aspx

that facilitates up/downloading of at least waypoints and possibly other info 
to/from several GPS models.  So I'm not surprised to see claims of that 
nature from other software sellers.  I'd be real interested in a package that 
allows Garmins to use scanned maps, for instance.  I use Fugawi occasionally, 
but 
it's strictly PC-based moving map software - which enables scanned maps to be 
used in conjunction with a GPS unit.
