mapsource gpx file

[+mummsy]

I've downloaded a query, unzipped it, but can't open it in mapsource. Does anyone know what I've done wrong, or if I left a step out somewhere?

The message I get from mapsource is that the gpx file is not a valid mapsource file.

What version of mapsource?

Thats the map version - mapsource will have a separate version number - look under help and about.

 

Have you tried opening your GPX files in Google Earth? - they open nicely and it is great for planning purposes

They open in Google Earth? I didn't know that, I'll give it a try.

 

Edit: IT worked, thanks for your help.

Version 5.4

That version is super old. You might want to update to a newer version.

Whoops. Duplicate. I shouldn't post while watching TV.

Updating the program worked, the file opened up nicely. Thanks.
