<DIV><FONT size=2>I have been working to load traces (tracks) onto my Garmin
60CSx. The problem is still the memory of the GPS units. They just can't hold
enough waypoints, trackpoints. etc. One solution with Garmin is to load them as
Points of Interest (POIs). They are like waypoints in a sense, but it is
harder to string them into routes. The Colorado Trail folks say you can load the
waypoints onto the micro-SD cards they will load automatically when the GPS is
booted. I am not sure I ever got that to work. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>My goal is to get traces of shorter segments of trails to load
with the waypoints without having to use a computer. I am not there
yet.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Ken,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This Tarzan PCT '08</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you for this information. The
coordinates will be extremely helpful when loaded into the GPS.
Question, we have the garmin gps and loaded maps and coordinates for
our PCT hike, however these garmin maps did not include the PCT Trail
itself. Is this true for the CDT maps also?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>There are lots of programs that will upload the gps
coordinates to your gps. EasyGPS and GPSBabel are both free and relatively
easy to use. The key is getting a file of gps coordinates that you want to
use. You could probably scan Jonathan's if they are on a print file.
GPSBabel will move the coordinates from most any recognized filetype
(including tpo, kml, gpx, txt and csv) to your GPS or another filetype. If
you have a Google Earth KML file just point GPSBabel at the KML and tell it
to load the waypoints to your gps. Same thing for Topo's tpo
file.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The next issue is that gps's only hold about 500 to 1000
waypoints. I am putting the waypoint files on 1gb micro-SD cards (about the
size of my little finger nail). I may even carry all 3 or 4 through the
whole hike. ;) Each card will hold much more than 1000 waypoints. I'll
then load the gps from those cards. I am still working out the best way to
do this. I'll get back to you with the final method.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>The coordinates are WGS84.<BR><BR>There is no file of
coordinates on the CD. There used to be, but there were a number of errors
in the file, and I had no easy way to keep it updated (there's a line on
my web site that needs to be corrected). On average, you'll be going
through about 2 maps per day, so that's only 2 gps coordinates you'll need
each day - at most... assuming you actually use all of them. Since the
coordinates are printed right on the maps, you'll have plenty of time to
enter them by hand when you actually need one... Then, you don't have to
go searching through a long list to find the right one either. I
wouldn't bother trying to load them beforehand. At first glance, it seems
like a reasonable preparatory thing to do, but I don't think it's
something you really need to do.<BR><BR>-Jonathan<BR><BR>Sly wrote:
