That's one thing I was wondering, if they would share maps.

So if you don't have a program to manage waypoints. How does the unit store them?

also can you store them on a SD card as a back up?
At this point, I only have 50 or so waypoints and I keep a little note book. I'm sure I'll be adding a lot more if I ever figure this stuff out

You can network the units, really easy if you buy the LSS-1 and share routes, waypoints. And you can always back the data up to an SD card. If you don't back up your gps info from time to time, you'll feel like a fool when you have to reset the unit. Please back your data up.

I use Oziexplorer for my mapping and waypoint managing and created a waypoint folder in the program and sub folders for each lake. I like to keep them on a sd card too.

I like that idea. Is that hard to do??????

No not hard at all. I haven't figured out how to set Oziexplorer to convert to and from .usr files so I use a online converter for that. Oziexplorer uses a .wpt file. Do you have Oziexplorer?
