• 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.

How to Send Google Custom Route to Your garmin


For those of you that find it challenging to work with Mapsource or Basecamp and would like to create a route in Google Map then be able to send it to your Garmin, I put together a cheatsheet in MS Word Doc Or PDF with instruction and photos but don't know how to attach it to this post. If you want a copy please me.
I use this for myself and wanted to share with you. If you already know it then ignore this posting. If you find something needs to be corrected/updated please share it with the rest of us.

Hope this helps.Capture1.jpgCapture2.jpgCapture3.jpgCapture4.JPG






I found a way to convert Track to Route so I have revised version.
Don't know how to add it to the post. Send email address if you want a copy.

Update

Forgot to mention a step:
To Import the route in your device go to:
On Garmin device, Tools, My Data, Import Data, Trip Logs

To remove the route:
While your Garmin is connected to your computer, My Computer, Removal Disk, Garmin, GPX (delete all files there).
