Thanks wannabee.

I guess what I'm looking for is a way to cut and past the waypoints and save individual ones in a file without transfering every waypoint I have on the gps.

If I'm understanding it correctly now.....if my gps only holds 500 way points....when I get 500 on it the only way to save any more is delete older ones?

I can save all of them in a file on easygps, but that's only a back up in case something happens to my hand held?

When I download my waypoints from my garmin to easygps it only makes a copy and does not open up space on my garmin?

I have confussed myself even more, so anyone can make sense out of what I'm asking please give me feedback.
