[pct-l] ? on Waypoint Transfer to handheld GPS device

[Tortoise]

Just looking at my version of NG Topo for Mac -- appears Topo can export to 
Magellan and Garmin, and probably lots of others if you can figure out the 
interface settings. Topo also has an "auto detect" GPS function -- don't 
know how well this will work.

You many have to get a small set of waypoints and experiment with the 
settings until you find what works.
