GeneralGPS utility is the perfect companion for your GPS. You can use it to edit, store and manage waypoints, routes, tracks easily.Manage Your DataYou can create separate files of GPS data and then just upload the ones you need when you need them, allowing you to only work with a sub-set of routes and waypoints in the field. Why not have files for different states, routes that you only use occasionally, etc. This frees up space on your GPS and keeps you from having to cycle through hundreds of waypoints to initiate a "Goto."It is also much easier to add comments and edit waypoint names being able to actually type on a full keyboard instead of having to cycle through characters on the rocker keypad on your GPS. Create RoutesYou can easily create routes from your waypoints or from track logs.Import Waypoint, Route and Track Information from Google Maps.You can use either Google Maps or Google Maps UK to get directions to your destination and in a few clicks upload a complete set of waypoints, route and a track for your trip. This technology has developed quite a following and will no doubt appear on mobile phones from companies like o2 in the not too distant future. This is really slick. A real keystroke saver!
