Hi,
Check groups.yahoo.com/group/etrex/

As this is a group for users of a specific software, we don't really discuss other freebie software. Most of us have already purchased this software.

Garmin support would be able to answer the questions of what you can upload, contact them at

Well, there is a free version of TopoFusion available here:

You can use it to upload/download GPX data to your heart's content.
