> What a great list.  Thanks a lot.  Should I have a GPS thingy to punch
these
> numbers into?  A laptop with some kind of software?
What you need is the gps software that runs on your gps device..
The gps software that i am familiar with from garmin,  magellan
allow you to import waypoints as a native format or gpx file.
You then overlay those ways point on the gps digital map data
The setup I use right now I have a laptop running windoze connected to a
rino 530 2 way radio/gps unit
and the garmin application MapSource and then and I have a couple of digital
maps
TopoCanada, and MetroguideCanada. In MapSource there is file import/export
you can just click the gpx file & then choose what digital map you want
those way points overlaid on
once that is done you can route to any waypt ...
Similar features exist in the magellan gps software and the ms map point etc
