When you've bought a new Garmin GPS, if you've been a Mapsource PC user, transferring waypoint data from the old GPS to the new one requires some thought. You could open every waypoint file in Mapsource and perform "send to device" but it might take you a while.

With the old a new GPS's attached to a PC, in my computer, dragging/ copy & pasting the waypoint files to the new GPS doesn't work. The easy way to do it is to attach both GPS's to the PC & in Basecamp, find the internal storage of the old GPS on the LHS of the screen, this will let you copy all the waypoint data using "select all" to the new Garmin GPS. Copy & paste to internal storage on the new GPS.
