The individual gpx files are importable into Garman trip and waypoint manager (you can leave out the combined tracks if ya want). These should then be transferable to you garman as TRACKS (not routes etc). From memory they need to go to your unit NOT the card....? Have you other stuff (old tracklogs?) on the UNIT that is taking up space? Over all, the tracks are actually quite small so shouldn't be a problem I would think . Let me know how you go and get back to me if there is still a problem. It IS do-able I promise :-) PS Just checked the specs of your machine - almost identical to mine so should work :-) Hmm – not sure why you are having a problem….If you d/l the zip file (above) ; expand it – there are 17 gpx files and one text file.

Essentially Wainwright's but with modern modifications (as required) and now Steadman's route. I took Both books as they complement each other well. Only a few of Wainwright's paths/tracks are no longer usable and that is obvious. Enjoy the walk! Hi BP69-

Pretty odd to ask an Aussie for help from someone who lives at the other side of the world on a walking adventure in the UK. Can I ask you for help/advice regarding some gps-navigating issues I have please? We're planning to walk the C2C this June. Best regards, Pieter the Netherlands Hi Tim,

The software can open the files I have provided and can download them to your GPS. Also lots of free ware around to do the same thing. If you don't get a cable - look on e bay - there are hundreds of 'em :-) Enjoy the C2C! (BTW the above files are TRACKS not WAYPOINTS - the Waypoints are in <a href="http://www.gottagetalife.com/2007/03/05/coast2coast/">the other post</a> :D) Hi Tim,
