Free Software Options?

| What are some of the good freeware options instead of buying MapSource?
I have an eTrex Legend and am trying G7ToWin as well as GSAK (which
appears to be more geared for geocaching rather than routes and
tracks).
I've also heard of EasyGPS.
I just want a place to keep the waypoints, tracks, and routes that I
don't want in my unit at the time. G7ToWin is looking pretty good.
But the thing I really liked about GSAK is that I could double-click on
a waypoint and it would bring up Google Maps for that point!
I also want decent Import and Export capabilitites (which G7ToWin seems
to have).
I mainly use the GPS for driving navigation. What else is out there?

| In addition to Easy GPS, you might want to check out USA PhotoMaps
(www.jdmcox.com). My book focuses on free and low-cost software. These
two fall in the freeware / shareware category. There are others out
there with extensive demo modes and few limitations.
