Open the Waypoint in NotePad and copy out the coordinates and enter them into Discover Aus - simple
You do not own OziExplorer - amazing

Maybe I should have explained myself better, and yes I do own oxiexplorer, there is ways like you suggested also by uploading to gps from ozi explorer then downloading to DiscoverAus,,

But when you have about 50 odd routes to transfer, a quicker way must be out there somewhere

It looks like gpsbabel can convert between the Oziexplorer and mapsend waypoint formats

In your first post you said waypoints which gpsbabel can handle but in your second you say routes which gpsbabel can't handle between those two formats.

Clive,

Have a look at the OziExplorer Utilities page. They have a conversion utility free there that does the job.

Alternatively, have a look at GPSBabel .

Yes. What do you want it to do?

The only application I know of is GPSY, but then I don't own a Mac.

Try doing a search at GPSInformation.net you'll probably find there are heaps.
