[Qgis-user] How to get a point's coordinate for GPS?

Hi, 

I have been watching YouTube and reading tutorials the whole afternoon, but I do not get this simple task done: 

I have a map with several layers in EPSG:2444. Now I create another vector layer with points, which represents points that I have to go myself and check for several features. I will go there with my Garmin Etrex 10 GPS. 

So, I would like to 

- add the coordinates of the certain points into the attribute table to print out the table later.
- create a file with the coordinates in order to import it into the GPS device and walk along all points. 

My question: 

1. How do I get readable (GPS) coordinates into the attribute table (automatically, with field calculator or so)?
2. Can I export a GPX file or so from these coordinates to import into a Garmin device (if so, how?)


It seems so basic, but I do not succeed. 

Best, 
Maria
