<DIV>Hi Jake</DIV>
<DIV>I don´t know the GPSMap60, but for other (older) Garmins I use the following instructions:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Plugin>GPS>GPS Tools</DIV>
<DIV>Choose Download from GPS</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Fill in the dialog. But.... Sometimes it gives me problems. In these cases I use GPSBabel to transfer data from GPS to GPX file.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>GPSBabel are included in GPS Tools. But some of the parameters makes "trouble".</DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-GB>I’ve just began to use QGIS, which looks like a wonderful piece of software. I wonder if anyone can help me with a query.

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-GB>Import the gpx file and have the waypoints plotted as points within the BNG projection (EPSG:27700), each labelled according to their individual ‘wpt’ tag held within the gpx file.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-GB>Create a new column within the table created from the gpx file and populate this with the OS Grid Reference for each waypoint (e.g. SD4568798345). <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-GB>Add a Google Earth layer as background<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
