Since you mentioned mapsource, I am assuming that you have and using a Garmin gps unit. The only gps that I know off that lets you download all the page info. is a Garmin I-Que.
Until just recently, I too used your method of entering waypoints and in the last couple of months have, with some help of close friends, I have gone paperless. The answer sounds very complicated, but once everything is set up it is a snap to use.
First, I set up a series of pocket queries that I run weekly. I then load them into a waypoint management database called GSAK (the best $8.00 I have spent, I might add).
GSAK , allows me to load the waypoints into my 60C and the page info. into a PDA.
Like I said earlier, it sounds complicated, but once everything is set up it is a snap to use. With the PDA, I don't have to carry a clip board full of printout's to rummage through for the info that I need and I can enter notes about the cache I just found.
I hope this helps,

Subject: [Az-Geocaching] a better way!!
I haven't posted much but I have been lurking for a long time. I know there has to be an easier way to have the caches in my gps with the info from the pages. Right now I put them on my mapsource as waypoints and download them into my gps when I am going somewhere. I also print out the page from the website to take with me.
Can anybody tell me if there is an easier way to do it??
Hope this makes sense!!
Thanx
