Downloading Trail from Every Trail to my Garmin GPS

Postby rickwitk on Fri Jun 08, 2012 7:34 am

I like the idea of sharing tracks, how do I download from here, to my Garmin 60CSX gps?
I can see adding my tracks here, but I want to be able to go both ways.

Rick,

You'll need to use Garmin's free MapSource software. Download the .gpx file from the EveryTrail website to your PC. Then open it in MapSource and upload it to your Garmin device - job done.

Get MapSource from Garmin at:

Hope that helps.

Mike

But what about the tracks and POIs featured in the guides?
I cannot find the option to download the gpx files. Only the option to download to smartphones is offered, which is useless when backpacking...

Thx.

Currently gpx download is only available for trips, but we plan to add it to guides as well.
