Anyone know how to do this?

My PC says no chance, bog off.

Hi Daz,

Have you previously successfully opened such a file?

I've not been successful finding a "how to" but you might find the boffins at the URL below more helpful (I'm new to Garmin, so my knowledge is limited).

Have a look here:

I found this by using the search function, keywords "RTE AND Garmin". Extract below.

GPS Babel is one such utility it is very versatile in respect to the number of different file formats it supports (see below). You can download a copy from GPS Babel I use the GPSBabelGUI.exe version on the PC, it is easier to use than the earlier DOS prompt version.

Hope this helps.

Thanks mate.

Just been playing with a link found on the Eurohoon forum and I've cracked it:

PC is transferring the routes to my nav unit as I type.
