For people who have one of those SPoT gadgets, and want to get their data into a usable GPS route that they can share with their friends, check out
these posts in the SPoT thread.
I'll still save the GPS tracklogs directly from the GPS if I want to do geocoding or have a record of the trip. But that takes some time to massage those files, link them together if needed, etc. For a quick route file with almost zero work, getting the data from the SPoT works perfectly.
