Satnav, GPS and way points.....
 
OK, wasn't sure where to post this so i parked it up here....

I have the complete TCAT route sent to me by 'Gravel Travel' but i understand i require an APP to download it on. As a complete Dinosaur with PC's and satnavs in general could i ask what App's folk are using on here plus general tips and hint's on usage etc...?

Cheers/ Mez

Start with the sticky threads and work from there for whatever takes your fancy

Next challenge: Basecamp
 
There must be a HUBB meeting and/or satnav clinic soon in your area. You need to learn the basics of Garmin Basecamp. Start by installing it on you PC or Mac, double click on the Gravel Travel (GT) file and Basecamp should import the track. If you connect the GPS device it should appear in the left upper corner box. It’s then a matter of dragging the GT track from its location in the lower left side list of tracks and waypoints onto the device appearing in that box up left, and that’s it, the file will be copied to the device. Then it’s another story to get it running on the device. I’d need to login into Skype and walk you through it.
