Thanks. I ended up using DNRGPS (Previously DNRGarmin) to convert the .shp to gpx without issue. I had tried DNRGarmin but the older version offset everything by about 90 metres. Using tracks should be fine for my needs!

If you have the time, you could get Magellan's Mobile Mapper Office software that would import your shp files and create a vector map with *.imi extension. Once this is converted, the *.imi file can then be renamed with a *.poi extension that shows up as an overlay map on your gps. The results can be very nice but time consuming. There is a lot of info on the TritonForum with regard to map making.
But if you want fast results then exporting to gpx and then dropping onto gps as a track as mentioned earlier is the way to go.

If you can convert it to GPX, then it should come in as a track; just drop it into the SD card directory.

I'm due to commence a heathland survey next week and I'd like to put some kind of overlay onto my 710 so I can see the survey boundaries. I know it should be possible, but rather than waste a load of time hunting around I was wondering if anyone can suggest a quick, free and easy program or method?
I use ArcGIS so the heathland survey areas are mostly shapefiles (.shp) but I can convert them into most other formats.
