gps-speedsurfing

I've just been looking at www.gps-speedsurfing.com and was going to record my speed session today, but how do people work out what all their average speeds were using a standard GPSr... My Garmin eTrex only tells me my top speed and average speed for the whole session.

The data entry system at gps-speedsailing wants to know all of the following:
Max. 2 sec. (software)
100 m run
250 m run
500 m run
Nautical mile
1 hour

Has anyone got any ideas about the software needed to find such things and how to connect my GPSr to my computer to extract such data??

Cool.. although a little expensive as I will have to get a serial to USB adapter as well... I think I can pick up a cable such as that from ebay though and then track down some software that I'll be able to use.

I had a search around on the GPS-speedsurfing site and found some info about various software packages, although support for a Mac looked a little dodgy!
