Uploading and Downloading Garmin Forerunner 910XT Data

Download your Garmin Forerunner 910XT waypoints to your computer

ExpertGPS can transfer Garmin Forerunner 910XT waypoints through your computer's USB port. It only takes a second or two to download all of the data from your Garmin using ExpertGPS.

Upload new waypoints to your Garmin GPS

Transfer data back to your Garmin Forerunner 910XT with a single click. Upload waypoints to your GPS and print a matching map out to take with you into the field. ExpertGPS even lets you upload Excel, Google Earth, CAD, and GIS data to your Garmin Forerunner 910XT!

Maximize your GPS Memory

Your Garmin Forerunner 910XT has limited storage space for waypoints. Once you reach that limit, your GPS can't hold any more data. Smart ExpertGPS users have figured out how to eke out every last bit of memory space on their Garmin GPS receivers. Before each outdoor adventure or visit to a project site, they use ExpertGPS to back up the contents of their GPS, and then clear the GPS data memory. They can then download as much data as possible onto their GPS (leaving some room for GPS data collection out in the field). When they get back, they use ExpertGPS to upload all of their Garmin waypoints onto their computer and save it. Once they've backed up the new data from their GPS, they can clear the memory again, keeping their GPS ready for their next trip.

Backup your Garmin Forerunner 910XT waypoints

Backup your Forerunner 910XT waypoints by using ExpertGPS to transfer them to your laptop or desktop computer. Now you've got a safe back-up of all of the important data on your Forerunner 910XT, and use ExpertGPS to find and create new waypoints to download to your Garmin GPS. Before you update your Garmin Forerunner 910XT firmware or install a custom basemap, Garmin recommends that you backup all of your GPS data. ExpertGPS gives you the peace-of-mind that your Garmin Forerunner 910XT data is always safe.

Making Maps from your Garmin Forerunner 910XT Data

Real 1:24000 USGS Topo Maps

View your Garmin Forerunner 910XT waypoints over USGS topo maps and aerial photos. These are actual 1:24000 scale topographic maps from the US Geological Survey, giving you much more terrain detail than the maps that came with your Garmin.

Toggle between Topo, Aerial, and Color Orthophotos

Instantly switch between topo maps, aerial photos, and color urban imagery using the T, A, and U keys in ExpertGPS. This ability to toggle back-and-forth between several views of your GPS data is unique to ExpertGPS, and is one of its most popular features.

Give your maps a professional look

ExpertGPS comes preloaded with all the line patterns and cartographic styles you need to draw highways, railroad tracks, transmission lines, streams, and more. And the waypoint and track style editors let you create your own map symbols, change track colors, and customize exactly how your GPS and map data is drawn.

Garmin Forerunner 910XT Coordinate Conversion

Convert between any coordinate format or datum

Need to convert NAD27 lat/lon to WGS84 UTM? ExpertGPS does it automatically. Enter coordinates in any format, in any datum. To convert Garmin Forerunner 910XT coordinates to any other format, just select that format in ExpertGPS. All of your data is automatically reprojected to the new format and datum.

Convert to and from US State Plane Coordinates

ExpertGPS Pro lets you work with data in any US State Plane Coordinate System (SPCS). Even though your Garmin Forerunner 910XT doesn't natively support SPCS, you can use ExpertGPS Pro to convert data back and forth between state plane coordinates, lat/lon, and UTM.

Convert any address to latitude and longitude for your Garmin Forerunner 910XT

ExpertGPS converts addresses to GPS coordinates with its built-in address geocoder. Enter any address in the US (or in several dozen other countries) and ExpertGPS will bring up a map of that location and create a GPS waypoint you can send to your Garmin Forerunner 910XT.

Locate property using PLSS (Township, Range, Section) coordinates

The Go to TRS command in ExpertGPS Pro will take you directly to any township and range in 17 western US states, allowing you to locate land in the US Public Land Survey System quickly. As you move over the map, the current township, range, and section is displayed. ExpertGPS Pro can even overlay a PLSS grid from BLM or your state GIS department.

Viewing Garmin Forerunner 910XT Data in Google Earth

View your Garmin Forerunner 910XT data in Google Earth

With ExpertGPS, you'll be able to view all of your hiking trips over the aerial photos in Google Earth, showing exactly where you went. This feature is so popular in ExpertGPS, we've added a hot key (F7) that will automatically launch Google Earth and zoom in on your hiking waypoints and tracklogs. And, we've also added the ability to download KML files back to your Garmin Forerunner 910XT
