  1. I'm new to this GPS and Geocaching thing. I have an Etrex (yellow) not legend or summit, just a plain Etrex. I also have a cable to connect it to the computer.

     

    What I am wanting to find out is what program should I look into getting? I want to be able to get routes off of the map for driving, and to have caches downloaded to the GPSr for finding.

     

    I've been looking at ExpertGPS, and GSAK.

     

    I like expert for the fact that I can get aerial photos with waypoints laid over the photo, and can do the same with topo maps. But I haven't figured a good way to get a route from a map to the GPSr with that program. The instructional video that came with my unit shows them entering waypoints from a map using Mapsource, but I haven't looked into that program yet.

     

    Last night I downloaded GSAK, I am still playing with it to try to figure it out. But am not thinking that it does much for mapping, just Geocaching. Am I wrong?

     

    Or am I asking too much from my GPSr?

     

    Any help is greatly appreciated, and all thoughts are welcome.

     

    Like I said I am new to all of this, so my terms and thoughts may be incorrect as to what I really meant, if more info for what I am looking for is needed, please let me know.

     

    Thanks to all.
