Can anyone recommend a computer program that allows you to enter coordinates for waypoints.

A mate has a road book and I want to plot the route particularly the off road sections on the PC then save them as a GPX file to upload to the satnav.

Cheers

Have a search for OMN from Anquet. It is not free but will work on phone as well. I bought whole of UK 1:50000 scale for £85 but I believe they have an offeron now and it is cheaper.

I use gpsvisualizer and google earth.

Perhaps I should have said that the road book is for the Pyrenees.

Gpsvisualizer might do it........I'll have to have a mess about tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes.

also but man its heavy on the brain :woohoo:

well thats the idea anyway..I`ve done a few custom routes but nothing with third party stuff..

pm sent also

Tried all the above and can't seem to get any of them to accept the coordinates in the format they are written in.
This is an example.
42deg 52,006' N
0deg 44,890' E

Any ideas?
