Us 5 Camp Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I've been away from GPS file manipulation programs for a LONG time. I have/use Mapsource. I wish to share my waypoints in Mapsource format (.gdb) with a family member who has a mapping garmin gps, but no Mapsource program, not a big gps user. We live in different states. I would like to send my .gdb files and have them open the file with a program and download data to their gps. I can do this with GPSBabel (convert to .gpx) and then EasyGPS (download to gps). Is there a single step option? Are the better programs (free) to use than those I listed here? Thx. Quote Link to comment
