+19claire75 Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I'm just starting to aquainted with my new GPS (Garmin 450) and I'm fairly new to Geocaching. What I would like to do is create a route on the geocaching.com website which I can follow on my GPS with caches on the way. I have followed the instructions and have managed but only if I follow roads. It doesn't appear to include footpaths which is a bit of a pain as I am planning on geocaching whilst on country walks. Basically what I'm asking is am I doing something wrong or is this just the way it is?? Any help appreciated! Thanks Claire Quote Link to comment
+Bear and Ragged Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Might be easier to use mapping software and save the track/route file as a gpx file and then transfer it to the GPS. Do you have maps on your GPS? As you are in the UK you could try Talky Toasters free maps. There's a link on the UK and Ireland side of these forums.

+michigansnorkelers Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 If you can see the footpaths on Google Maps, and if you have GSAK, you can try this: http://gsak.net/google/polygoneditor.html Quote Link to comment
