I've just returned from a trip where I used a GPS for the first time. It
involved many open crossings and I wanted to see how the GPS would help out.
It performed quite well and I now have some saved tracks of our trip.

My Etrex can only store up to 10 tracks so I was wondering if anyone on the
list has any recommendations for Palm (I have a T3) based software I could
use to download and store tacks while out on more extended trips.

Thanks,

Keith

I use GPilotS, which is freeware. You can download it from 
http://www.cru.fr/perso/cc/GPilotS/. The author updates it regularly.

You will also need a Palm-to-GPS cable, which you can probably get from 
http://www.blue-hills-innovations.com/.
