Does anyone know how I am able to download the ward roster and put it on the GPS? I have seen missionaries do it but i can't figure it out.

It's in the Maps tool on LDS.org. Choose "My Ward & Stake" and then use the Download link at the top left (just under your ward's name). That will download a CSV file that has the households in your ward, along with the lat/lon for each of their homes. That CSV file can then be imported (perhaps with some tweaking ahead of time) into your GPS software.
Questions that can benefit the larger community should be asked in a public forum, not a private message.

The ward maps allows you to see it in a browser. My understanding is that leaders can see it in LDS Tools. But most of the downloads have been removed, so I doubt if it's possible to put into a GPS.
