[pct-l] Using a GPS

[Tortoise]

I also got a Garmin etrex vista Hcx a couple of weeks ago and am 
figuring it out. Most of Garmin's software for the Mac is not on the CD 
but can be downloaded from the Garmin site -- search for it.

I also noted several mentions of alternates to Garmin to get maps for 
the GPS.  I'll be checking these out.
