Mapsource Trip and Waypoint Manager (TWM) is a Mapsource brand product. It is an economic tool for transferring data (waypoints, routes and tracks) between a Garmin GPS and a computer. It has similar detail to Worldmap (without navigation aids), but does not load maps to the GPS.

Trip and Waypoint Manager software allows you to view a colour map of any area in the world, including Australia.

This mapping is based on US Government 1:250,000 map data. All features stay in focus no matter what scale, so you can zoom down to a resolution of a few metres. You can easily zoom by rectangular window, or scale, or pan to a particular area in Australia, or any other land mass. When you have the desired area shown, with major roads, rivers, towns and highways, you can easily create waypoints with a click, ready for upload to the Garmin GPS. Or you can download waypoints, routes, and tracks from the Garmin, and they will be overlayed on the screen for direct comparison with existing information.

Each set of map and data you use can be saved in its own file. TWM supports all the different datums and formats, so can be made compatible with your local sheet maps, and your GPS. With the zoom and pan functions and the ability to create waypoints, routes, and tracks, it is ideal for planning your next outdoor adventure, business trip, vacation, or recreational outing without ever leaving your house. Even for going overseas, points will be ready for use in your GPS when you arrive.

Professional users will find TWM a convenient method of saving Garmin GPS points and tracks from all models, except the early GPS100 series. Export points and tracks in a convenient GPX text or DXF file, complete with header information on datum and format.

Marine users will find TWM a convenient method of saving Garmin GPS points and tracks on a map background, ready to load to other GPS, or simply for archiving and safe keeping.

Waypoint and route management functions are compatible with all GARMIN GPS systems except the GPS 100 family of products and panel mount aviation units.
