Does anyone know of a free utility or ArcMap script that converts ESRI shapefiles to GPX?  Is Topofusion capable of doing this?

edit: did it using this utility http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/mis/gis/tools/arcview/extensions/DNRGarmin/DNRGarmin.html

Still interested to know if Topofusion is able to do this... getting ready to purchase a GPS unit and TF.

Try the OGR2OGR console program. see http://casoilresource.lawr.ucdavis.edu/drupal/node/553. Easiest to get OGR2OGR as part of FWTools: http://fwtools.maptools.org/

For example:

Convert GPX to shapefile:

   ogr2ogr destination.shp source.gpx

Convert shapefile to GPX:

   ogr2ogr -f GPX -dsco GPX_USE_EXTENSIONS=YES destination.gpx source.shp
