+Unobtainium Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 What GPSr do you have and what format are the walks in? Quote
+villain1973uk Posted May 3, 2010 Author Posted May 3, 2010 i have an oregon 450,i had vista when i asked the question before, and as for the format im not sure what you mean,im new to geocaching and gps devices, just looking for somewhere i can see peoples walks they have done and if it looks good put it on my device and walk it, not even sure that can be done but hope it is as i spent 260 on the device and want to use it for more that just geocaching, cheers Quote
+Unobtainium Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 (edited) OK, I've got a 550 so I know your 450 will take GPX files. These normally contain geocaches, but can also contain track logs. You put these into the folder /Garmin/GPX (either on the unit or on the SD card). That's the easy bit, I do not know of anywhere you can download other peoples track logs. May be someone else can help with that bit of the puzzle. Edited May 3, 2010 by Andy K! Quote
+villain1973uk Posted May 3, 2010 Author Posted May 3, 2010 ok so so i have recorded a walk, there was a site or something where i could upload it and see the walk i did on a detailed map,i have done this one just cant remember where or what site it was Quote
+The Patrician Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 Convert to a kml file using GPS utility and view on Google Earth? or this method: http://www.gearthblog.com/blog/archives/20...ch_and_gos.html Regards, Neil Quote
+Just Roger Posted May 4, 2010 Posted May 4, 2010 Convert to a kml file using GPS utility and view on Google Earth? You don't need to convert. GE will open GPX files directly Quote
