I cannot tell you, today, how I did what I did but I found a real simple way to save the routes to GPX files. Just opened them up on my Microsoft Streets and Trips 2013 and then modified them as needed and then saved them again as GPX files. I just looked at the files and did not see a path to what ...

Ok... I opened them again and found a link (it was sort of hidden) and the bottom of the file that opened the route in goggle maps.. So I can copy the route that way. But here is one example. West Hwy 76 TL Hwy 288 TL Hwy 76 TR towards Hayesville TL Hwy 339 TR Hwy 66 TL Old Hwy 64 TL Brasstown Rd TR...

Ok... I did open the files using my MacBook Pages program and it opened and I saw data. I had no idea what the data was. Let me try again and see what happens.

Oh, I don't remember if I ever opened a GPX file that way..

A friend of mine sent me some trips but they are in a format I have never heard of *.ODT. I did a search on line and found one site that might convert them to GPX but they wanted me to download something first. Anyone know of a way to convert *.ODT files to GPX files or, maybe just show them on a ma...

Just downloaded Garmin Express version 7.23.0.0 for my MacBook. Have not used it yet.

My apologies, I have not used my Zumo 550 since sometimes around the first of the year. It has some issues with the touch screen and I just decided to let it "age". I could have the screen replace by the Palm DR. but.... When I wrote the instructions, I tired to test them by following them...

Another RANT!!!! Wonder who the "person" was that designed this system. I put the following in the search "box" (top right of screen); danville, tn Then pressed the return key. The first hit on the last that follows is "Danville, GA". That is just dumb, dumb. Who was th...

Just one more update. Wife used the GPS today for a trip that takes her a place about 25 miles away. She said "Hey Garmin....... address of place.....

And it took her right there. No issues. So... it seems to be exactly what I wanted for her

Thanks again for the feedback.

We got the GPS today and besides having to figure out how the GPS was removed from the mount, it was as expected. And very, very light. Operation was very similar to my 595. And the voice navigation worked fine. It's one of the reasons I wanted a new one. Did not want her to have to figure out how t...

Thanks ikraus. Good information and tends to follow my thought patter as well. So, I will get the Drive Smart 66. Order it later today (you just in case some other comments come in). We are both sort of in the "older generation" and don't use our iPhones for much except texting and phone c...
