Filesharing Garmin files

Since I am a newbie Garmin GPS owner, please bear with me if this is a rather elementary discussion.

Rather than entering the individual waypoints for route creation, shouldn't those of us using Garmin's version 2 .gdb files be able to actually share routes and tracks via email?

I am thinking that one could open someone else's .gdb file in a new gdb document, copy the individual routes/tracks, paste them into our own personal "master" gdb document and upload them into the individual unit. Anyone game for this? DavidK?

As a precaution, maybe use a gdb file that doesnt have your "home" as a waypoint in the document. What a great feature that would be on your website, David......to be able to download a Baja master file with individual routes and tracks.

BTW, I didnt notice a waypoint where the road to Bahia Guadalupe left the BOLA pavement. Do you have that?
