Your notes include Garmin 60 directions. Life gets a lot easier with the
newer Garmin 62 series: If you plug your USB cable between the unit and your
computer, the unit shows up as yet another mounted memory device (at least
in MacOS X). You can just copy the GPX files to wherever you want them
on your computer. Perhaps there are other GPS units that work this way
also.
