[GIS] Garmin GPS 78 Interface

gps

Does anyone know how to interface a Garmin GPS 78 Marine GPS with their computer to manage waypoints (upload, download, save, etc.) Previously I was using the MN DNR Garmin tool, but it no longer recognizes the GPS.
Any solutions are welcome
Thanks

Use GPSBabel, which supports a large number of formats and supports many GPS units. Relying on vendor-provided software is always a bit dicey since its another form of lock-in and prevents easy movement between GPS platforms over time, particularly a problem when the older releases are unsupported or unavailable.
