[Still Gotta Pulse]

is that the gpx file dont open correctly or you dont have garmin mapsource/basecamp installed?

I don't have Garmin anything yet. When opening the link it's all displayed as gobbledygook to me! :silly:

[Mr Free Market]

Where is countess ???

Will - If you are coming down the A419, we could hook up in Marlborough & then head off down to Countess to meet up with everyone else

[Tramp]

yeh stone age neanderthals..... :woohoo: :woohoo: spend a fortune on bling and cant navigate your way out of a wet paper bag :laugh: :laugh:

[Mr Free Market]

I'm still a map & compass man but I have to say that one of those new Montanas look tempting

& on that happy note I'm off to the pub

Navigating isn't a problem , technology is! :laugh:

Oops , that was meant for Tramp! See what I mean about technology? :whistle:

OK. This is the best way I can get the route to open using an online OS map website.
I've had to convert it to a track to work.

Save the below attachment on your computer using right click / Save Link As

Sals_track.gpx

(21.66 KiB) Downloaded 195 times

Open Where's the Path in another tab

At bottom left click Import/Export GPX icon

In the bottom of the box change where it says Screen to File

Find the file on your computer wherever you saved it using Browse

Double Click on the file

Click IMPORT

Hopefully it'll open up on the website otherwise I'm talking complete rubbish and have had too many tinnies!

[Tramp]

yep do the same with ..

http://www.bikehike.co.uk/mapview.php

and get o/s mapping and google too..

"sat nav tuition available"

[~ACP~]

Ah, that's a better way Russ. Works without converting to a track on MM. Thanks

Cheers for the foolproof idiots guide ACP , sorted!
