Garmin 76S - collecting more than 10,000 trackpoints

Next summer, I will be using a 76S during an extended hike of more than
300Km and I would like to collect trackpoints (location lat/lon or UTM,
date, time and elevation) every 10M along the entire length of the
hike.

I have been advised that I could use a datalogger, but I also wonder
whether or not I could also use a handheld (i.e a Palm) to download the
day's trackpoints, at the end of each day during the hike. If this is
a viable option, what software would I need on the Palm that would
allow me to 1. communicate with the 76S in order to download the daily
track from the GPS; and 2. later to export the entrie datalog (lat/long
or UTM, date, time, altitude for each trackpoint) to a PC for
subsequent cleansing, manipilation in programs such as OXZIExplorer?

Suggestions appreciated

For Palm do a search for GPilotS. Freeware.

I use GPilotS too. First used it to extend the track capacity of my old
Garmin GPS12 on road trips and still use it to backup my data when I'm
away from my PC. I have a page with some tables on trackpoints vs memory
on a Palm which may be of use to you.

I see you were using an m100. I still use an old m105 to store mine on.

I use a m105 now too as the old m100 was damaged while geocaching.
