Andrew,
I'm trying to get straight in my mind a point or two,
so please bear with me. If I buy a non-mapping unit,
such as the Garmin GPS 60, your saying the OZI software, etc.,
would be of no benifit because I couldn't upload the waypoints
from the software to the GPS unit... I guess I understand that,
but would the OZI software be benificial in itself to
create waypoints on an old map with no coordinates, in conjunction
with a modern map that has coordinates?
I'm not saying that I won't buy a Mapping unit, but I'm trying
to juggle cost, ease of use, and something that will do what
I want... just have to understand what that is!
For instance, If I have an old plat map from 1910 that shows
an old homestead out in the boondocks, in the NW 1/4 of the NW 1/4,
Section 24, etc., that I believe is no longer visible to the naked eye,
can I use the OZI software to create / plot some waypoints on the computer,
then manually input them in the GPS 60?
Would the Garmin eTrex Vista

mapping unit work with OZI or other part software to upload my own maps?
Thanks again, Tom
