I suggest a six pack of beer, a pen, paper, and alot of time and patience.
I have the Navman 5500 in my boat. Took me a while to manually enter them into a spreadsheet on my computer.

If it uses a CMAP card, surely thered a be a way to download the marks if you put in a regular card? Had a quick look at the manual and it says you can transfer points between units using a "CMAP user card". Not sure if that would just be a regular SD card though.

I never found a easy way with my Navman, just write them down after each trip or every few trips. I think Gully might have some way he does his but he'll have to fill you in on that.

nav planner or fugawi
save the wapoints to multiple cards, buy the navplanner software, comes with a card reader, load points, save etc, print etc,
good luck or download a trial fugawi,
