The only one I know: Save as GPX or .mps, import to TtQV[1] (you
may use it's automatism to reduce the number of trackpoints, too),
convert it (using drag 'n drop), save as PCX5 (GPX is possible, too
[since .128], but still a little bit buggy), import to MapSource.

If you are referring to Garmin then you can use winGDB from
http://www.softsolutions.be/GPS/Garmin/WinGDB11.zip
Save your track in a normal MapSource .gdb file, run winGDB to convert the
track to a route and save in a new file and then open that in MapSource.
You will probably need to filter the track before converting to a route
otherwise you could easily end up with far too many route-points than you
can fit into your receiver and the route will be truncated when you try to
upload it.

| Thank you both for your input ... and David for the software.
Amazing that Garmin doesn't include that as a part of the Map Source
software. It seems to be that they could do a good job of filtering the
trackpoints to coincide with road intersections. I had some marine charting
software that did perform this 'seemingly' basic function.
Oh well.... thanks again.

| Why not just reload the track into your GPS and use the Track Back
Feature....that will effectively turn the track into a reversed route
