[pct-l] Managing GPS waypoints

[Paul Robison]

I just went through this and this is what I did...

You have to download the poi converter on the garmin sight... It converts waypoints I into poi's which are unlimitted... Downside is no custom icons etc... So for me I tool all the mileages dots and converted them to pois, which left all the water sources etc win their fancy icons, in doing this you get like 5200 poi's and 750 waypoints... And They are just beautiful on trail

I'd love to load HalfMiles (thanks for all the work HalfMile) waypoints but there are way (no pun intended) too many.  How do any of you manage them?  Load only 1000 at a time?  Edit them down to one every 3 miles?  Any ideas would be appreciated.
