you're after some waypoint management software
there's a list of them on the tools page at http://geocaching.com.au/tools
the most popular software seems to be gsak http://gsak.net

If you've got the 60C then you have mapsource - right?
If so you can use EasyMPS( http://www.iancowley.co.uk/caching/ )
This is a freeware program.
It allows you to double-click a GPX or LOC file, and can be configured to open up Mapsource directly.
If you have a map for whereever you are, you can see the points on it.
Even if not, it is very easy to then send your points to the GPS - and also to use USB, which is a lot faster. A lot of programs don't do USB yet.

For my two bob's worth, GSAK is the biz. <p>Not only does it give a multi-functional database that allows communication with your GPS, but is written by a programmer who can cache rather than by a cacher who can program (there is a big difference). :lol:

Is there caching without GSAK?

I'm not sure I know any other way...
