+DJ&Jules Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 Okay, I need help. Is google earth the only place you can create a route to use for the feature caching along a route? Quote
+Mach2003 Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 I have used Garmin's Mapsource, I suppose anything that will save a route as a GPX will work. Quote
+DJ&Jules Posted March 30, 2007 Author Posted March 30, 2007 I have used Garmin's Mapsource, I suppose anything that will save a route as a GPX will work. I've got mapsource, tell me how to do it, all I'm getting is straight lines on the geocaching preview page. My route is not following the rds. Quote
+Mach2003 Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 Do you have routable maps loaded in M/S? I will look at the last one I did, and get an answer to you right away. Quote
+Mach2003 Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 I see I did set waypoints at all the major turns in the last one I did. I had used the auto route, but then changed the route to suit my needs by adding additional waypoints and redoing the route. When I just tried to use the auto-route alone, the resulting GPX file was just a crow fly route (when viewed in Google Earth anyway). Bottom line is: Set waypoints at any turns or curves that would make a crow fly route miss your desired results, then M/S will work fine. Quote
+DJ&Jules Posted March 30, 2007 Author Posted March 30, 2007 Thanks, I figured as much. I just thought that there could be a quicker way. Quote
