Google Earth Placemarks To Garmin 60CSX

[+tw3nty3ight]

Ok my question is WITHOUT getting google pro whats the simplest way to convert googles Lat/Lon to manually enter in my 60csx? Or if there is a program that wil send it to the GPS. I have alot of cemeteries placemarked and would like to transfer them to my gps so I can place some caches.

 

Thanks in advance!

Save your Google placemarks to a .kml file...convert that file in GPSBabel to .gdb or .gpx...now open the .gdb or .gpx file in Mapsource and upload it to your GPS.

Can this only be done with a Garmin map loaded into the MapSource? I only have the basemap in MapSource. If I open the KML file that I generated using GPSBabel, I do not see it listed under 'Routes' or displayed on the map.

 

Any ideas?

You need to get gpsbabel to convert from KML to GPX format that Mapsource can then load.
