[pct-l] Loading GPS Data while mid-PCT

[Ken Powers]

I uploaded sets of waypoints to Garmin 60CS while on the ADT. I posted the 
waypoints in files split by state and posted them to my website. When I had 
access to a computerI downloaded and installed EASYGPS from the web. It is a 
simple and free program that installs and uninstalls very easily and 
quickly. I used it to copy the waypoints to the GPS.

In the last few days I have been looking for ways to upload Tracks to my 
GPS. I haven't succeeded yet, but I re-discovered a program named GPSBabel 
(also a free program). This program comes both a Windows GUI version and a 
commandline version. I think you could put the commandline version (and 
maybe the Windows GUI version) and the data files on a CD and upload to your 
GPS using the program directly from the CD. I haven't tried this, but it 
appears it would work.

I have been considering carrying my little GPS.  I have lots of good sources
for thousands of GPS waypoints.  Anyone know of an easy way to load
waypoints into a Garmin GPS - mid PCT.  I was thinking of a software that
might be self contained on a CD.  Include the software and data files on a
CD and put it in the bounce box.  Then I could find any available PC on
occasion and load up the next section of data.  However, all the programs
that I know of are not self contained.  That is to say that they need to be
"installed" onto the PC to operate.  My preference would be not to have to
install (public computers wont allow it).

Any ideas?
