I've mainly been using GPSpoint and GPSBabel along with cmconverter
to convert gpx files for use with my palm.  I've also used a mac
program to upload/download waypoints, but it's buggy as heck.  That's
one of the reasons I'm thinking about using Qt to write my own program
(to upload/download/manage waypoints) is that I could use the same
program on both my linux and mac platforms.

Oh, and Viking is pretty cool for overlaying waypoints on top of
topo or satellite pictures, but it's interface is still a bit rough.

Cheers,
Tanner
