how to transfer garmin waypoints to lowrance

The application in mind where this is extremely useful is pest control where a foreman loads waypoints to his workers GPS units out in the field, without the need for any PC type device. However does anyone know if it's possible to simply transfer waypoints from one Garmin GPS60 to another GPS60? via direct cable? There's a wealth of additional detail here: 'Working with the Garmin Interface'. Garmin have a FAQ that summarises what we already know here: 'What interface setting do I use for my GPS when I connect it to a computer, chartplotter, autopilot, differential beacon receiver, or another Garmin GPS?'. That feature does not appear to be carried through to the eTrex range or the new 60 and 76 series. The older Garmin GPS units such as the GPS 12 and 12XL had the extremely useful 'SEND WPT' command as discussed above. This topic is an oldy but well worth updating. ? A man with a GPS receiver knows where he is a man with two GPS receivers is never sure. If there's a difference, I'd be interested in hearing about it.

I'm assuming the process is similar for eTrex, eMap, and GPS V. I can also transfer tracks and routes to either unti. When I press ENTER, the waypoints are copied over in a few seconds. Then on the 12XL I select SETUP MENU > INTERFACE > SEND WPT? (this last group of operation options is just below the GRMN/GRMN format option). When I transfer waypoints from my 12XL to my map76, for example, I connect both units using the GPS-GPS data transfer cable, turn both on, and ensure that both have the Garmin interface selected. Steve, since I don't own or use the models you mention, I can't speak for their specific operations. Can you transfer waypoints from GPS to GPS on Garmin models such as the eMap, Etrex series, or GPS V? If so, what GPS menu option do you use? I have read the manuals for many of these models and have not seen this option mentioned.
