CheersGo onto the Geocaching website and look through the free software available and see which one suits you. GSAK or Easy GPS should be okay as they allow different formats.

I have plotted about 20 manually . so i will get there, just slowly!!!!!

Problem is i have to delete tomtom from my pda every time i want to use mem map, so im thinking about 2 sd cards, one for tomtom and one for mem map, simply change depending on what im using...

Depending how i go , will have to look at a proper gps...
