Does anybody know how to change a gpd map file to a gpx file as my zumo 660 only accepts gpx or jpeg :dunce)

, as miles sez, u can , but i cant unnerstand y u cant use as gdb?,


if you downloaded the files via maxxies intricate new sharing site :thumbsup) , i would imagine ( as i found) that the files are in your 'download folder'
open basecamp, click file on menu bar, select import into collection
that should open where the files are, ( looking for file names " budgie dales sat"," budgie hartside sun")
if you cant find ,,,,,do a search for the file name?( in windows)
if you find them in basecamp, open whichever,
then
with your 660 plugged in,
use send???

Just figured this out, got the files across to the zumo and i can see the route on basecamp
I have three new destinations (travelodge,devils bridge and tan hill) in my favorites so will the zumo now follow the mapped route to get to these destinations?

Yes it will. Or rather, yes it should :mrgreen: Bearing in mind I don't have Base camp or a Garmin 660, that's my option anyway :mrgreen:
Eliminate the impossible. Whatever remains, however improbable, must be the part you forgot to service.
