How can I download my tracks and waypoints and view them with Viking?

There are multiple solutions, all described in documentation.

In few words:

• extract data from your GPS as a file and load file in Viking;
• or directly load data from Viking (if GPS device is supported).

How can I export a TrackWaypoint layer as a GPSMapper file so I can make Garmin maps?

(NOTE: You should always save your data as a gpspoint or Viking file also because Viking cannot open gpsmapper files) The comment field for each track/waypoint you want to export to GPSMapper should be in the following format:

Name RGN## 0x####

- or -

Name RGN## 0x##

Where the first '##' is 10, 20, 40, or 80, and the second group of '#'s is the type of region.See the GPSmapper docs for more details. By the way, if anyone knows of an open-source program to make compiled maps for (preferably Garmin, but I would appreciate info on other brand) GPS receivers, please tell me!
