Please, keep your eyes on the road at all times. Watch your speed. If you have a question, read my Warning page.

All the waypoint files on this website are for Magellan GPS receivers only. The files for Magellan receivers are the files ending with wpt. If you own a Magellan Meridian GPS, either Color,  Platinum or Gold, and use Magellan Mapsend software, you don't need any extra software. If you have another make of GPS unit, you need to download EasyGPS from Topografix, and follow the directions on how to convert the GPX file to a file your GPS unit will read.

The following are directions for the Magellan Meridian series GPS. If you own something different then your set up will be different.

Set up your Magellan GPS so that the "map orientation" is in "track up" mode. To do this get in the map screen. Press the "menu" button, then toggle to "map setup". Press "enter". Toggle to "orientation" and press "enter". Toggle to "track up" and press "enter", then "escape". That's it. Now as you ride the map will turn with you making left turns to the left and right turns to the right.

Once you have the waypoint files in your GPS unit, just follow them as if they were arrows on the road. I usually mark once before the turn, then one at the turn and one after the turn.
