Any walkers out there?

Does anyone know of any FREE software available for transferring .gpx files to a GPS?

TIA

 

its a half mile to Oakwell. We get a taxi. Why you need a satnav

 

Cos I actually do like to walk, just not to Oakwell when that time can be much better spent having a jar in Groggers!

 

I'm a keen fell walker currently doing the Wainwrights... unfortunately I use maps and a compass... errr what's GPS when it's at home ? (It's an age thing}

 

Someone was on about something for bikers in a jedi1 thread. Not sure if thats different.

 

your round saturday.

 

I'm round everyday! Got to watch the brass though pal cos I've lost a couple of days wages & I've booked to take our lass away next week

 

working saturday so i wont hit town until 2

 

Software on the PC OR ANDROID?
Also what kind of GPS?

 

Nope.Walking and biking is exactly the same thing.

 

Software on the PC, it's my father in laws Garmin Etrex H, just the cheap yellow one. Android would be good as well though, I've got a Galaxy S2 & been looking for summat on that instead of buying a Garmin of my own

 

I am not sure if it will work the way you want , but I used this to convert to Garmin from GPS

Thanks Mark but that's not what I want, it's something to send the data from the PC to the GPS

 

Have a look at MMTracker for the Android. I've got lots of 25k map areas using that. The evaluation model is free and the full version a few quid.

Bit of a thread hijack but hey.

We're having a beer or 3 at The Meadows (Brewsters) near Cortonwood tomorrow night, if anyone fancies bobbing along to say hello.
Anytime from 7 - we'll try and make ourselves easy to find.

 

I've found some software on Garmin website called Basecamp, it's exactly what I need but it doesn't allow be to click 'Send To' it's greyed out for some reason. I haven't got the software cos it's the father in laws GPS & he forgot to bring it over the Pennines with him. I won't be seeing him again before we go to Shropshire

 

Thanks Mark, Easygps is exactly what I'm after!
