Hi Clyde, > My Garmin 12XL accessory list has the PC kit listed for $92. The > docs have no description of the kit nor how to use it. Dump the PC package and just get a data cable. Like Dan has already mentioned, the free software is better than the stuff you can buy from Garmin. Quickly becoming my favorite in the free waypoint management software department is a program called G7TOWin. This started life as a DOS based waypoint manager (G7TO), moved up to a windows console program (G7TOW) and is now a full windows GUI (G7TOWin). You can get this program from: http://www.proaxis.com/~crh/gps/g7to/g7to.htm Despite it being beta software the last few versions have been pretty stable. > > I currently have DeLorme's Street Atlas that supports waypoints and the > Garmin 12XL. The latest GPS driver for SA 6.0 isn't too bad, but I like to use G7TOWin because it will plot your route across water, something SA thinks is a bad thing. http://www.tidalwave.net/~woodardr/waterplot.jpg Shows a GPS water route overlaid onto a SA map by G7TOWin (light blue lines), and http://www.tidalwave.net/~woodardr/Trip010.jpg Shows an example of a GPS track plot overlaid onto a SA map after download from G7TOWin (Black lines).
