Help loading GPS coordinates

What type of GPS do you have? What is the software interface for loading the file?

For example, I have a Garmin GPS and use Nat Geo Topo software which I import the text file of coordinates 1st. After the waypoints are in Topo, I then move those I'm interested in over to the GPS. This is necessary because the GPS only holds 1000.

As a way to help me keep the waypoints sorted, I first took the raw file and used Excel to quickly re-name the waypoints such as "4-56" to represent WIHA 56 on map number 4. Then I converted the file back to a CSV (comma separated values) file type which can easily be loaded into the Topo program.

I have all of the points in an excel file. I also have a file of all points in a mapsource file for Garmin GPSs. Not sure I remember how to use them, but if you want tem, let me know.

I guess I'm oldschool. I still carry the wiha book and Kansas atlas.

How did you get them into your GPS?

So, what was it that kept you from getting them into your GPS?
