Uploading GPX files to a Garmin Oregon 400t

Postby FlatlanderMike » Sat Nov 07, 2009 6:10 am

I just uploaded a gpx file from 14ers.com to my Garmin.
It shows on my Garmin as a series of waypoints.

Is this correct?
Can it show as a route?

Thanks.

I didn't include a route line in the .GPX files. If you're using MapSource, highlight the waypoints that you want (you don't need to select all of them) and right-click to create a route. Then you can download the route to the GPS.
Think snow!
