South Route
Is anybody else having trouble downloading the GPS file for the south route? I tried last night and I couldn't get it to load for some reason. Its probably me not doing something right.

When you say "load" do you mean downloading from the forum on this post, or to open up in Garmin Basecamp, or to load via other method on to your GPS?

I can't be sure it's working, but it opened fine in Basecamp for me, and I was able to load it on my Nav IV and start the route with no problem (but I'm sitting on my patio about 125 miles from PP) - so I can't see the route on my GPS.
GPS File
Well I was trying to down load it from this forum. Is there something else I have to do first. I've never downloaded a route before, so this is something new for me, thanks.

If I recall correctly, all I did was double-click on the garmin file and it downloaded to my inbox, next I unzipped it, and then I imported into Basecamp (import within Basecamp). Is that the question you are asking, or did I misunderstand it.
Well I saved it to my documants folder and then unzipped it and then I sent it to my Garmin GPS, but it said there wasn't any route to open.

Well, I'm not sure how much help Ill be, as I'm a bit GPS challenged. I first imported the route into Basecamp, and then I used the transfer action in Basecamp to move it to my GPS. It sounds to me like you're doing things differently, and my knowledge of GPSs is so limited, I don't know what else to add/recommend.
I should add, I did just go outside and preview the route on my GPS, and it does appear to be working on my GPS, so I think the file Vision provided does work.
Okay, well thanks for trying to help! I'll keep trying. Maybe its because I don't have basecamp!! Well hopefully I'll get to meet you if you're at the Pikes Peak leg of the Gypsy tour!

I believe that Basecamp is a free download from Garmin, so unless you're avoiding it on purpose I guess you could try installing Basecamp and using it to populate your GPS.
Otherwise, I look forward to meeting you at PP. I hope to be there Sunday night with some other new friends that I've met for this ride.

Out the door now. See you in Medora, St. Croix campgrounds and St. Paul!!!
I heard it was tough on driveshafts, too.
Yes, very tough.
Thank you Ian, for putting tour together again, and for working to to promote and expand the GS community.
