I've been doing a lot of mapping of three local WMA's and adding waypoints like crazy. I'm at 113 now. How many do you have?

Who has the most marked waypoints?

Gps 76C has 242 waypoints
                    493 Topo Maps
                        2 Routes
                         4 Tracks

Garmin Legend 180+ Waypoints
                         34 Topo Maps
                           4 Tracks
Gps fishfinder.  I have am not sure.  A bunch.

I try to manage my waypoints and other items.  I just deleted a couple of routes and associated waypoints.  I generate a few waypoints and tracks in my playing around.  I'll delete items that I do not plan on using in the future. I will store sets of waypoints on my computer and reloaded them if needed.  I deleted a bunch of waypoints I collected in Montana, Wyoming, and Utah a couple of years ago.  At this point they were just occupying space and I deleted them.

Now that the snow is melting I will start do some pre-season scouting for deer.  I have waypoints and a track for the area of interest stored on my computer.  I can reload those waypoints, I can print a map or do both.  On my scouting trip(s) I will generate new waypoints and tracks on my gps.  Then I must draw a tag for the area.  It is a tough draw.

I need to remove a bunch of waypoints.  The unnessary ones are clutter that may slow me down.
There is a learning process to effectively using a gps.  Do not throw your compass and map away!

Guess I better get cooking. I have 39 waypoints and make sure the uncessary points get removed in order to keep things uncomplicated. I'm going to get a steno pad for a log book so I can keep track of those 39 waypoints. I thought 39 was alot.....good grief. I'm going to have a chat with "Solly" (The ETREX CAMO) to see if he's having insecurity issues with his 39 waypoints. I hope he's O.K.

I used my e-trex legend while traveling.......Lay out my routes and download to the GPS before getting on the air plane......when I got the the rental car I'd boot it up, put my laptop in the seat, and GO TO........

Because of the way I use the device while traveling, I constantly download and upload, Mapsets, routes, and waypoints........It keeps the "clutter" down.......

I keep everything.......so when I get ready to go hunting......I upload the info I need back to the device.......
