Hi, I've just got an email with the gpx files for my London to Paris ride from the organiser. I've only just got a Garmin 800 and don't actually know how to get the files onto the Garmin or my Garmin connect account, can you help please? When I click on the link it just opens a new window with a list of gobbledygook on it! Thanks...........Neil.

Didn't work! tried putting it in 'new files'and in 'courses' , tried on the memory card and internal storage. At the beginning of the last of text that comes up for the file it goes on about the Web address, tried to delete this bit but it just goes to Web page, I'm none the wiser!

download the gpx file, normally this will auto file to your dowloads folder.
Open the folder, find the file and copy it.
Open garmin folder, new files, and paste in.

Can I suggest you upload the files you got here, and someone can tell you if the problem is the files, or what you are doing?
Good idea, here is the link I'm given. Buggered if I really know what to do with it. There are 3 others.

OK. The people who created that file made a small mistake. Open it, delete the first line <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> and save it again.
Make sure the file name extension is .gpx. ie amr_route_1_day_1_2014.gpx
Then try again
Just to make sure, I uploaded it here
(after that, I'm out. I don't have a garmin)
