| Dear Colleagues,
I am interested in knowing if anyone has software to convert and upload
Google driving directions (turn-by-turn) into a Garmin Etrex as
waypoints. Even better would then to group the waypoints into a Garmin
route for quick navigation.
Any pointers are greatly appreciated.

| I did it once so I know it works. I got directions from the airport to
my hotel through Google Earth. I saved the route as a .kml file and I
found somewhere (google it) a website that converts .kml to .gpx. Open
..gpx in mapsource, edit to taste and upload to gps, rinse and repeat
for each route. Fairly easy.

I'm glad to hear that as I recently bought a GPS 60 and was wondering if
there was an application to convert klm to gpx. Now as long as the Google
Earth co-ordinates are accurate (and they seem to be) I should have little
problem in countries that MapSource has scanty maps on.
