I have software from my dad’s legend and am wondering if it is compatible to the Vista? If not, which one is better I have not made a new purchase yet? I am looking to use this handheld GPS in the woods.

I have a Garmin eTrex GPS that did not come with any software, but has a USB port for PC interface. What is the best way to manage my waypoints, tracks, etc? Garmin has Topo map software that can be purchased separately but it is expensive. You’re really paying for the detailed maps, and I don’t need them. I just want to manage my own waypoints on a basic map.

Does anybody know how to take an online trail map create waypoints and download to GPS unit?

Specifically, I’m wondering how I could go about getting a trail map that I’ve found online, marking waypoints and putting it on my Garmin eTrex. Or creating my own trail in Google Earth.

I currently use a 3 year old Garmin eTrex. It loses signal as soon as I go into the sparsest treecover. Are the newer more expensive units more sensitive so that they find the signal when in the woods?
