Hi Robert,

Sorry to trouble you, but I would be most appreciative if you could
point out which formats that use UTM are supported by GPSB.  I found
one so far, Textual Output, that has UTM tucked away inside it, but
what I would LOVE is to be able to both read waypoints from my Garmin
Legend in UTM, and to SEND UTM co-ordinates to the Garmin somehow.

Thanks for all your help so far.
