Transfer way points from spreadsheet back to GPS?

I'm brand new to basecamp but have a very specific need. I've got a series of way points in decimal place format sitting in a spreadsheet that I need to get into a GPSMAP 79SC. Is this possible via Basecamp or any other method (I prefer the fastest, so open to non-basecamp ideas as well).

It seems like I did this way back in the day. Try googling converting from .xls to .gpx. or .csv to .gpx. for ideas. You might also need to download a 3rd party app and/or format your spreadsheet in a particular arrangement prior to attempting conversion. Then, import the resulting .gpx file into Basecamp.

Thanks, I ended up going with this site which worked great. Once you edit your excel file to fit the format, export as CSV and this site converted to GPX with no problem.

Yup, I've used that site. Been so long, forgot all about it. Good on ya.
