Thanks for all the useful hints for the above problem of downloading =
waypoints and route and track data from a GPS receiver. I haven't tried =
everything yet, but hope I will some time in future.=20

GPS manufacturer GARMIN tells me it can only be done with a MapSource =
product they supply. (No info about cost, but it's not free, perhaps =
about US $100) (Sam at Garmin Cartography staff, =
http://www.garmin.com/cartography )
(This route also suggested by Zaini Nordin, Woody Woodruff, Tim Nuteson)

Then there's GARFILE, available free from =
http://www.icsinger.de/freeware.htm. This downloads into Mapinfo Mid/Mif =
format, which can later be exported if necessary. (Peter Doyle, Dale =
Appleton)

Then there is the Freeware program Waypoint+ from
http://www.tapr.org/~kh2z/Waypoint/  (Jim Reed)

Steven Dunn says: The best product I came across was GPS Trackmaker - =
http://www.gpstm.com/
Worked first time, and it's free for non-commercial purposes.=20


This last one is the one I am using at the moment and it seems to do all =
I need.=20
Thanks all, again!
