Bingo! That's the ticket. BTW, the page you sent me to includes a download 
from "Gaylord McCurdy" who actually created the Garmin (and other format) 
waypoint file. The Mr Gizmo site is a derivative of that, and it may be less 
up-to-date. I did a Google search and found McCurdy's own site at:
   http://gmccurdy1.home.att.net/Dealers/Dealers.html
I figured that the originator of the data is more likely to have the latest 
version. I imported the data into my desktop software and it works nicely. 
All the waypoints start with "BMW," so they are grouped. There is no 
indication if it's a car shop, bike shop, or mix, though.

Many thanks, once again.
