Dave actually wanted to be able to get the coordinates of user created
Google Maps place markers into his GPS, not the other way around.
Andrew Taylor gave this URL:
http://www.gpsbabel.org/htmldoc-development/fmt_google.html
for instructions, but, as it says, it's really fiddly and not very
obvious.  Not something you'd want to do too often.

Hi Carl,

You can export your tracks and waypoints from the Garmin application
(MapSource) in GPX format and import that into the free version of
Google Earth. I imagine that it is possible to do the same thing with
Magellan's software.

Dear all,

The good news is that the Google Earth users guide describes how to
import your waypoints and track data into Google Earth. The bad news is
that you must be a subscriber to either to Google Earth Pro, Google
Earth Plus or Google Earth EC,
See http://earth.google.com/intl/en/userguide/v4/ug_gps.html    for
details.

Cheers,

Carl Clifford
