towinguk Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Hello Just a thought that has accrued to me over the weekend as I entered yet another waypoint of the trials venue that I had attended As so many riders now use gps satellite navigation would it not be a good idea if all rider could share the locations of trials venues so how about this for a idea, groups of poi listed under Centre heading (eg, East Midland Centre ), National or pre65 I have been compiling one for East Midland Centre for some time and it quite useful so if riders would like to send waypoints filed in the format of either .gpx or .ov2 we can compile a list and make it freely available to all riders Email list to J@hn1.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleanasawhistle Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 I use a Garmin Streetpilot so those file formats wouldn't work for me, but despite that I think it is a jolly good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
towinguk Posted February 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 (edited) yes they would try this go to mapsource (came with your garmin or free download from garmin )conect your unit save waypoints as *.gpx Edited February 6, 2006 by towinguk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikespace Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 I'd considered it, but decided against it. We have enough trouble trying to keep illegal riders off our venues without it being publicly available. I'm not being arsy there by the way I put ours on our web site during the lead up to a trial, but no real desire to make them known globally, just in case.

stuartc Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Our club: Bradford & Dist also put in GPS/SatNav points in our directions to venues but dont advertise them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
