Wife has just got me a garmin eTrex 20 and I was after any good sites to down load GPX files
Thanks

Depends on what you mean good sites…Endomondo, Strava, MapMyTracks – they all have the ability to download routes (although some may be limited by the uploader)…have a nosey round those sites and see what there is, anything you like you may be able to download and plug into your GPS.

Are you looking to be told where to go? If so, I’d strongly recommend a trail centre, that way you don’t need to know where you are and can follow the arrows…

If not, then you may find the GPX files aren’t much use as it may be trying to constantly guide you back to the track.

😕 Is that not the point? I’ve been using a GPS for years, putting over folks’ routes on it and following them. I don’t think the OP would be asking for routes otherwise.

That’s what I’m going to use them for.

There are quite a few good ones over at theedgecycleworks.com, mountainbikerides.co.uk and also bikely as mentioned. I did have a few other sites, but can’t seem to find them at the moment!

I use Viewranger, you can plot maps on there, and export and import GPX files to it.
