Saved Locations

Garmin Basecamp will do, just as some other programs. Then export as .gpx and place in Newfiles directory on the Garmin using Explorer (Win) / Finder (Mac).

I just logged a suggestion that they maintain custom POI's on garmin connect so that they can be loaded on multiple devices (and new devices) without having to re-enter them.  Also to allow destinations to be shared from a mobile devices contact list.

I use BaseCamp but just drag and drop the way point. Tracks and routes also drag and drop but once opened associate with a FIT file and I cannot manage them with BaseCamp like on my Montana 610. 

I have added way points on my 1030 but will have to go see how I did it. It was not very intuitive.

I wrote a “workbench” program for the Garmins that runs on Windows. It does all sorts of useful stuff.

It lets you drag and drop Google map links (or any link with coordinates) to create GPX files that can be used to create locations. You can also drop lists of coordinates as text to create the locations.

There is also BC2GE, which lets you copy Google Map locations into BaseCamp
