MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
I've just invested in the Anquet UK mapping for my garmin venture cx.
Having fun trying to transfer a known local route to it as a test. I keep getting a message that the maximum number of waypoints has been exceeded.
The route I'm trying to download has 32 waypoints. According to a spec I found on the web my gps should be able to cope with a maximum of 50 waypoints.
Has anyone else encountered this type of issue, and if so any suggestions on roughly how many waypoints a device can be expected to cope with?
Cheers.......
Tell you what, I'll try posting it on the right forum. Bloomin' hangovers.....
No idea on the max waypoints, but generally speaking saving the route as waypoints doesn't work very well and soon runs out. Far better to save it as a track.
A Garmin Edge 705 needs routes in course (.crs) format. I use a program called gpx2crs.exe to do the conversion. Get it and read more here.

You can get miles and miles of route with really high accuracy and sensitivity in. It will even distinguish between the footpath and bridle path that runs parallel on Mam Tor.
