cheers russ but the problem is that i can't seem to download it from your thread in anything other than an xml file, which bikehike won't upload....

anyways i'll figure it out by the 30th....

Hi Jelly..

you`ll have time for breakfast so dont worry..But they aint cheap so if you find something else open onroute stop there..

We dont leave till 9.30am ish so dont rush the good food etc..

Orlando..does you computer not have mapsource loaded that you are trying to download the gpx file..that is the only reason it wont open..

Pj- If you bring your map I have a highliter handy to go over the route and nice stop off point etc...

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...

Pj.gpx

For Orlando and my groups here is the rough route...

plain ride.gpx

Help. I'm trying to download these GPX files for my Zumo, but all I get is a page of gobble - de - Duke


Any ideas??

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

Save like Orlando said, but, I did mune in IE9 and it saved as an xml file, but opened in mapsource and sent to device fine? :huh:

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

Hi Andy H ..

sure we can fit you in somewhere in a group...see you next saturday morning...

being as your coming from afar so to speak why not join some of the others camping etc if its what you want..

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?
