Many programs have been written to help with waypoint management and other related needs. Here is a collection of some of them.

GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife)

EasyGPS

ExpertGPS

GeoBuddy

OziExplorer

USAPhotoMaps

Here is a collection of data files produced (or made available) by local cachers that can come in handy.

Utah Waypoints
UDink has made available this file containing nearly 31,000 waypoints all over Utah. This link is for a ZIP file for faster downloading. It contains both an LOC file (for EasyGPS/ExpertGPS) and the same data in a GPX format suitable for programs like Geocaching Swiss Army Knife (GSAK). The ZIP file is just over 1 MB in size. Unzipped, the LOC file is 1.25 MB and the GPX file is nearly 5 MB.

Utah Benchmarks (by County)
Dino_Hunters has put together a set of GPX files containing benchmarks in each of Utah's counties. These files are separated by county and have been zipped up for faster downloading.

Utah County Boundary Coordinates
Kimbest has put together a set of coordinates that outline each county in Utah. The coordinates for each county is in a separate text file and all county text files have been included in a single ZIP file that you can download. Also included is a brief README file that describes how to create a GSAK Polygon filter that will allow you to have GSAK show only the caches in the given county.

ARC Route Files Between Cities
Using an online tool called Arc Builder, SirGerald has created ARC files of routes between cities. Using these files, you can create an Arc Filter in GSAK that will allow you to display only those caches in your GSAK database that are within a certain distance from the route. For example, if you're travelling from SLC to St. George, you can create a filter that will only include caches within 1/2 mile of I-15 for the entire distance.
