Hi 1. Have you set your GPS to save the data also to its SD card - this will at least preserve the tracks in a large memory resource though as far as I remember it won't save waypoints? 2. Look at GPS Utility software at http://www.gpsu.co.uk/ - it is more talented than GPS Babel and also free in its light edition (and of minimal cost in the full shareware edition) with top-notch technical help and support).

I have a friend there who sees the importance of getting a map done (they have NONE in that area) and who was happy to drive us all around. While I'm tagging and taking notes, I start getting a "Calendar memory full" error on the Garmin eTrex HCx. I remembered that it's been a while since I've downloaded my waypoints, so after the trip is over I get back home and notice my last GPSBabel import of waypoints was EXACTLY 1 month ago. Whooops! The reason is it's such a pain to go through a large set of waypoints and make sure I got them all, trying to remember what I meant at the time, etc... I can sit here for an hour every few days and catch up on the tracks but the waypoints are a huge time sink for me. So I'm asking the more experienced guys here, how do you manage them? I'm using JOSM for this, but I can try other software if it'll help. Is there some way I can put all my waypoints into a list where I can delete them one by one as they're done? As waypoints are imported in JOSM I can't edit them, so if I have a large group of them there I have to manually zoom in and verify each one, but it's easy to miss some. Any ideas appreciated. Thanks, -DC
