You may already have this small piece of software; if not, read on. It's produced by Garmin and is free. They must have had a fit of conscience or something. Anyway, it allows one to download a screen ... |

Here's a question for you techno gurus; are gpx format files readable & useable in all GPS hand units? Have they superseded all other formats?
