Creating a route

Recommended Posts

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

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.
