I've plotted around 100 coordinates, mostly humps, to my Garmin Map60 hand held unit. All of these were plotted from the AC controlled, easy chair in my house using my laptop and a Wal-Mart map of Wats-bar. After figuring it out, it was very easy. Haven't had a good chance to actually fish these spots but will this weekend. :cool:
 
It was enlightening because some of the "humps" were like really long "hills" under the water. Others were like just a little rock or mound that I would have never found if not "guided" there.
 
ETNW - I have not tried this for any lake GPS coordinates, but this works great for land waypoints and marking good looking hunting areas. http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html
I used this to pick out a few areas to scout more closely and I found it to be easy. In fact I found a hidden ridge on my hunting lease late one evening, marked it, and went to the spot the next morning in total darkness and was right where I wanted to be. Got me a new best hunting spot! It's sort of like Google Earth, zoom in to your area of interest, go to Satellite or Terrain view and click on the map, enter GPS coordinates in hand held, off you go.
