the problem was that stupid internet explorer refused to save the file as a .gpx file and was saving it as a .xml file. switching to chrome it's worked fine...

right click and save them... but don't use IE otherwise you'll have the same problems as me. firefox or chrome should save them as .gpx files which you can then open with mapsource, bikehike, google etc and export them to your gps

hmmm... curious.... seems like it might be touch and go whether mapsource will open xml as i have heard other people say it won't...

Hi Guys,

Is there any room for one more, I ride a KTM 990 and would love the chance to join you for the day, I have some off road experience but definitely fit into the novice class.

Cheers

Is it best to have a full tank of fuel to eliminate any sloshing about whilst off road or just have what we need to cut down on weight?

Trying to work out my fuel stops, how many miles from the RV to when we go off road?

I believe I read we are doing approximately 60 miles off road?
