Too rich for me, I'm afraid :-( Looks like I'll be getting a Legend HCx > Weekly build of maps from all countries can be downloaded in native > Garmin (img) format from Cloudmade: > http://downloads.cloudmade.com/ That could be quite useful. I'd intended to make my own, but I might just be lazy and download them from there ;-) >> - It would be nice to be able to store multiple track logs, giving >> each one a name (I don't know if *any* GPS can do this, but I figured >> it's worth an ask) > > Not sure chat you mean. An example - if I walk down a footpath, it would be nice to save a track log of that walk and name it something like "Footpath", then walk along a canal, save that as a new track log named "Canal". The idea being that when I then loaded them into JOSM it would make it easier to mark up the new features. That doesn't appear to be possible, though. > With my Vista CX, gpsbabel has no trouble creating gpx from whatever > it sees on the Vista.

I imagine I'll do something similar with the Garmin. Thanks to everyone for the advice and help.
