[pct-l] 400 PCT Waypoints and counting...

[jeff.singewald at comcast.net]

If a GPX file is available, one can use free software such as EasyGPS to download to Garmin GPS units.  I got into Geocaching last year and frequently load 500 - 1000 waypoints at a time via EasyGPS and it requires less than 30 secs. via a USB connection. 



Lots of choices out there to upload.

I can't tell what Postholer is using to place the waypoints on the map. I 
like using GPSBABEL with its GUI interface to move Waypoints, Routes and 
even Tracks around. It converts to many programs native filetypes and loads 
to most GPS's. If Postholer would provide the waypoints as a GPX file (or 
any of lots of other filetypes GPSBABEL supports) the loading of 400 
waypoints would take less than a minute to load them to the GPS. You can 
download GPSBABEL from the web for free. 

Nice addition to your already nice website, Scott.

We've added 400 waypoints to the PCT map, from Campo to Sierra City. 
More are coming...

These waypoints consist primarily of water, roads, major dirt roads, caches, 
creeks, passes and trail junctions. 

Barring any blantant errors, these waypoints should be accurate within 250 
feet of the location.
