The directory structure on the card is as you siad although my GPX folder was in capitals (GPX) rather than gpx, and the garmin folder had a cap G. I will correct this and have another go when I have a minute.
Thanks for the help

Well, I have tried different cards, tried to load my test route up to the main memory, tried to load it on direct from windows explorer and also through Base camp and still can't get it to show up.
Once loaded on, I can find the route through windows explorer with no problems. Once I disconnect the GPS from the computer (I switch it off and back on again but can't seem to find thr route through the GPS's interface.
If I reconnect it to the computer and go onto the card from windows explorer, the route has disappeared from the gpx file!
Not quite sure waht is going on there. Any clues?
Cheers Dudes

I can still see those footprints and they are heading down the same route that I took with my 205W:-

Unfortunately I think you are right! I just haven't got the money to spend on something too fancy!

Fear not, all is not lost.
Try a skim read of this thread which explores the use of GPS in practical situations, even though the thread lives in a different bit of the HUBB and went off topic quite quickly from the original post.

It pretty much describes how I have used my Nuvi 205 these past few years, partly because I soon encountered the buit-in limitations of my Garmin but mainly because I don't wish to rely solely on any form of GPS.
If you like, take a look also at the discussions elsewhere in here about using smart phone apps - it may be that you aren't carrying one of the latter, in which case continue with plan A.

That's the link that I wanted to draw to your attention: I don't post if I see no need to contribute.
The Nuvi works for me at present and I don't get overwhelmed with the techie stuff - it depends on the extent you want your hand to be held by such technological marvels.
