Thanks Wes. I'm fairly certain the Astro GPS stores the received
position reports as *tracks*, not waypoints. When I did a test
download in Google Earth one day I got 4 separate track logs:

1 called ACTIVE LOG, which was the GPS receiver
3 tracks named based on the programmed names of the Astro transmitters

I don't recall any waypoints being downloaded, but I could be mistaken.
