[#2688326]

Can someone point me in the direction of a gpx that takes in the highlights of Swinley?

I've ridden there before so know a few bits, but generally end up getting lost alot.

2-3 hour loop would be ideal

Thanks in advance

Coolio. ๐Ÿ™‚

If your gps is new then you shouldn't have a problem with tree cover. Mine used to lose satellites in the Chilterns!

Garmin edge 800. Brill bit of kit, though it does seen to go a bit funny sometimes. Apparently I clocked 53.6mph off road the other day....

Well obviously not as easy as copy&pasting those files straight to the courses file on my garmin.

Grrr...need to read the manual...

Looks like I've got the second one on the GPS ok (not sure why the first didn't work).

Using BikeRoutetoaster to import as .gpx and then export as .tcx. No idea why but it's what google tells me to do...

Thanks CG!

I googled how to get courses on the garmin, and this was the first one that came up. Seems to do the trick. Can't get Garmins own software to do anything!
