Hi Folks,

I have a Garmin eTrex Vista which I use primarily out on jeep trails in Colorado and Utah.

According to my instruction book this unit will hold 500 waypoints. I use EasyGPS to download waypoints from my PC to my eTrex Vista. I normally delete all the waypoints stored in the GPS, except for those marked as "favorites." Then I use EasyGPS to download waypoints from a region of interest, for example the area around Moab, UT.

Having said all that here is my question: I can't find a way to get a "count" of the number of waypoints in my GPS. As far as I can tell EasyGPS doesn't provide a "count" of the selected waypoints before the download takes place. Is there a way I can determine this number beside manually counting each one?

Thanks for your help.......

Do you have Mapsource? It displays the total in the tab.

I don't think there is a way to count them on the GPS.

Thanks for your reply Andy. I don't have Mapsource. I just did a rough estimate of the number of waypoints.... and it's somewhere around 200 or so. I was just curious as to what would happened if one had 500 waypoints and then tried to add one while in the field.

I would imagine it may give an error about not being able to save another, but I only have a couple hundred so I can't say for sure. You can download Mapsource from Garmin. You won't get any map detail, just a basemap but you'll be able to backup your waypoints at least.
