I'm a big proponent of using gps technologies to locate interesting places. From time to time I will share with the LF forum some of my Google Earth waypoints. Below is a dropbox link to a Google Earth file I've prepared with the location of many waterfalls.
The data was collected primarily through the Northwest Waterfall Survey (http://www.waterfallsnorthwest.com/nws/), and the World Waterfall Database (http://www.worldwaterfalldatabase.com/), but also from my own sources, especially in Arizona and Puerto Rico.
There are thousands of waypoints in this file. One can transfer one or several of these waypoints at a time to a gps device by saving an individual or a set of waypoints as a kml file (while in Google Earth), then using a gps application (such as Garmin's Basecamp) to convert the kml file into a gpx file.
Here's the file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/fu1bflzgpg61mey/Waterfalls.kmz
For those not familiar with using Google Earth see my quick guide: https://www.dropbox.com/s/znrrpdwbu3z08wb/Google%20Earth%20Mini-Guide.pdf
Enjoy,
