• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

GPS Coords for Route 66 and Northern Route

It took me awhile but I was able to get the GPS coordinates for many of the Route 66 attractions from MO to CA, as well as those along the Northern Route from CA to MO. The attachment is in Garmin format.

Maybe Firefly or Ken can convert it into a file that is directly transferable...I don't know how

Hope this is of help to those who want it

Give me some time -- a week or so -- and I will convert it for you. I do some of it by hand so it isn't an automatic process.

Also, a Rt 66 came installed on my Garmin 550; I can send it to you and you can install on yours. It may be just what you want.

Finally, you might want to look at poi-factory.com where you can download all sorts of poi files (like all the Walmarts in the US or all the Dunkin Donuts, etc.). They have at least one Rt. 66 file for free download.

As I said, the Garmin 550 file may be all that you need.
