software
there are lots of types, the charts are read from your card mate, SOB mapping software should do the trick,

gps
I know gps utility will allow you to save ur waypoints in excel, very cheap software also, u dont need a card reader as laptops already have them, could be the same for the sob software, dunno i havent tried that,

IMHO that sounds like the way
IMHO that sounds like the way to go.
The older and more expensive navionics software requires the special card reader AND a copy of the charts so there goes $500 once you add it up.
The new sw, and that gps utility sw you mention sounds like a better idea.

matethe easiest way is to
mate
the easiest way is to turn you navman on and take a pic of each waypoint page, save to your pics on the pc and there you have it.
cheapest and easiest way, yer you cant alter,delete and so on, but do all that via the head unit anyway and resave your new updated pics.
if you got the funds then the planner is the way to go, but a little time consuming, at least your inside though!
another option is what i do, get yourself another power cord for your navman, a power pack from jarcar and use your head unit in side, i can even look at all my soundings for the day as well.
