I have an eTrex Legend I bought about 5 years ago. I have many waypoints stored on it. I have those same waypoints in Mapquest on a second hand desktop. Will it be possible for me to transfer the waypoints from my old unit to this unit? If so, how?

I assume you meant to say Mapsource instead of Mapquest.

In Mapsource and other programs you can export the data in a common file format like GPX then send it to your new computer to send to the eTrex 20 via Basecamp. Just open the GPX file in Basecamp then load to the Etrex.

Thank you for responding. Yes, I meant Mapsource.
