Old topo / Google Earth overlay into Xchange2 ?

I have a few old homesites saved in Google Earth that I found by overlaying an old topographic map . What's the easiest way to get these into XChange2 so I can use the CTX 3030 GPS to find the old sites ? I tried right clicking on the points in Google Earth and clicking on properties so it shows the latitude/ longitude . Then I entered the latitude and longitude into XChange 2 Google Earth but it doesn't work . I'm sure there's a simple way to do this but I haven't figured it out.
My old handheld GPS quit so I wanted to use the CTX to get there .

Thanks
 
The only way I've been able to do that is to drag any existing Waypoint into SAMPLES. There you can rename it and edit it to your desired Lat/Long (from Google Earth). Then drag it back into CTX3030 and disconnect the USB cable to store it in the machine. When you're in the field somewhat near your target, with the GPS locked on and with 100X100 resolution selected, it should appear on the screen. From there you should be able to go towards it. As you approach the target reduce the resolution to 20X20 and then 10X10 to put you right on top of it.
