**other options which may or may not work for you involve installing the software that came with the GPS and using that to fetch GPX traces from the device, or using software such as GPSBabel to fetch them. In there is a "Current.gpx" (which is today's) and a folder called "Archive", which contains number ".gpx" files, one per day, that can be uploaded to OSM. If I open that drive for the Nuvi, I've got a "D:GarminGPX" folder. You can upload from there directly to OSM. If I open that drive for the eTrex I see a series of files ending in ".gpx".

On a Garmin Nuvi (and I'd expect on an Oregon) you don't have to do that - it should appear as a removable disk on your PC (after a short delay).Īs an example, on my (Windows 7 64-bit) PC my eTrex appears as "Removable Disk (D:)" and my Nuvi as "Garmin nuvi (D:)". On a Garmin eTrex, you'd probably have a setup option called "Interface" and within there be able to select "USB Mass Storage" mode. It looks like Oregon uses a standard "mini USB" cable - (a) one probably came with your GPS and (b) even if not you've probably got lots of them around. There's a bit of guesswork involved (I don't have a Garmin Oregon, but a couple of different ones). I usually remove the route from my Garmin's “Trip Planner” after the excursion.There are a couple of possible answers to this question - what follows is probably the simplest** and most generally applicable way if you've never connected your GPS to a PC before. If you're poor like me, your Garmin may have limited memory. Personally, I usually wait until I'm close to the ghost railroad I am going to follow before turning on the trip planner. I display the route on my nuvi 2595 by selecting Apps/Trip Planner and selecting the desired route. I think its great that you allow garment connect to link to all trails so that what I do record on the watch will. I've owned 3 Garmins and every one of them has been different. It would be great to be be able to download the GPX file directly from the app rather than logging into the web page switching over to web page view on my phone and then downloading it and then linkng it up to Garmin explorer. In this example, my Garmin nuvi 2595 is shown under the “Devices” folder, so I select it and click OK. Right Click on the new route BaseCamp created and select “Send To”.
BaseCamp will create a highlighted route (as shown below). Select “Create Route from Selected Track” as shown belowĪlmost done. Right Click on the track shown on the map Now, use BaseCamp to create the route that your Garmin can recognize. The window will appear similar to the image below – a bunch of waypoints and a track. In this example, I am selecting “ CSX – Monon – Bedford to Bloomfield(1).kmz ” from my Downloads folder. Select File/'Import into my collection' from the top menu and select the downloaded kmz file. Import the downloaded kmz file into “My Collection” by: The initial window will appear similar as shown below:
SRTM contour lines 25m, NOAA depth contours, USGS Landcover Woodlands. Maps can be installed under Windows or Mac OSX.

Full map is about 9GB, it can be downloaded as a whole mapset or smaller regions. Many kmz files on the net do not meet this criteria, so be careful when downloading from another site.Ĭonnect your Garmin to your PC, wait for your PC to recognize your Garmin, and open BaseCamp. Detailed map of USA for Garmin GPS, based on OpenStreetMap data. IMPORTANT – the tracks of the kmz file must run in one direction. Go to Butch's Indiana Railroad Maps and download the desired kmz file. Regretfully, I cannot get BaseCamp to run on Linux, but it runs great on Windows. Prune, GpsPrune is a free/open source application for viewing, editing and converting coordinate data from GPS systems. Viking, Viking is a free/open source program to manage GPS data. This proved to be easy using Garmin's free software – BaseCamp. Software: Edit GPS tracks list of more applications here is a list of more track editors to explore when I have time. Just select Garmin GPX file, and software automatically. So instead of relying on the Oregon to keep track of found geocaches I run this program.

After I created the ghost railroad routes on GE, I had to find a means of transferring routes from the GE kmz files to my Garmin nuvi 2595. Autoboy Blackbox SRT to GPX Converter Autobox Blackbox is an awesome Android app used to record dashcam video directly from your phone. It's much easier to track the route of a ghost railroad from Google Earth than tracking it from a car. Ever look for a ghost railroad while driving the backroads of Indiana and lose track where the grade went? This is the reason I created “Butch's Indiana Railroad Maps” site. These instructions are for Ghost Railroad hunters.
