eXplorist 500 data import capabilities?

I have some files with Garmin waypoints and tracks on that were saved
(from Garmin's MapSource application) in *.gpx format.

Does anyone know of a way those can be changed to a format that can be
uploaded to a eXplorist 500?

As I understand it the only formats that can be used from MapSend
Manager (I have V1.05) are *.upt, *.rte, and *.log files.

Thanks,

Jack

I've never tried it, but apparently a program called GPSBabel
can convert between many formats including Garmin and Magellan.

Thanks Jim, and you're right, GPSBabel will do the conversion.

And a big thanks to you all.... I've been playing with converting some
routes and that will work just fine.

Raggs,

Did those *.upt and *.log files that I sent to you work on the eXplorist?

I converted those from the *.gdb files you sent me using the GPS Utility
4.5k/V beta version that Alan Murphy mentions above.

It would be interesting to hear if they worked or not.
