Hope that helps. You should be able to find a You Tube video and/or a User Manual online that you can download.

When you get on the rally find someone with a Garmin to show you how to operate it to guide you round the course. Martin Green is better at this than me as I don’t use mine very often and usually forget what to do until I have practised a couple of times.

When you have the files in Garmin connect open each gpx file (called “courses” in Garmin terminology. You will find the list of courses hidden in the “More” menu (three dots) and then in “Training and Planning” then “Courses”. Open each in turn (each will show a small scale map) and click the Send to Garmin icon which is a small blue arrow pointinf at a watch. Then you need to connect your Garmin to the PC by bluetooth or cable. It will show connected in the home menu of the Connect app. Then you just need to activate the “Synch”. On my iPad it takes a while and looks like nothing is happening but eventually the “courses” will appear on the Garmin.

You need the “Garmin Connect” application on your laptop. Drag and drop each gpx file onto the Garmin Connect app. Or find some way of getting the files to the app. I am not sure with a PC because I use a Mac or iPad but you should find help on You Tube.

Jeff, extraordinary and wonderful to hear that crossing the Golden Gate Bridge got you into tandemming! Wishing you happy travels in Europe. We are currently in Puglia but sadly on 4 wheels not 2 and will soon return home to Hampshire, England.

Neil, just to let you and interested members know that I have Streetviewed and amended 3 detailed and useful route sheets so far, the kind I like to use, and am working hard on the rest of the short and medium rides. They include a few warnings where I think our tandem may have trouble! If anyone wo more ...

Neil, will do the route sheets asap. Should be able to let you have them by mid-week or so. Members do need to be aware that they are auto-traced and may have inaccuracies. I shall check some but not the long ones!
