Using the file
There are several things you can do with your GPX file:
• Connect your Rider to your computer and view the file using software such as Google
Earth.
Note: While viewing your recording, you may notice that the recorded GPS locations do
not always correspond with the roads. This can happen for several reasons. Firstly, your
device tries to keep the files small and this can cause a slight loss of data precision. Sec-
ondly, your device records the actual data from the GPS chip for an accurate representa-
tion of where you’ve been, rather than what you see on your screen. Thirdly, the software
with which you view the recording may have the maps misaligned.
• Share the file with friends by sending it using email or the internet on your computer.
Receiving a GPX file
If you receive a GPX file from a friend or download one from the internet, your Rider can
convert it into an Itinerary. You can then use the Itinerary to follow the route with naviga-
tional instructions.
Converting a GPX file into an Itinerary
To convert a GPX file into an Itinerary, do the following:
1. Connect your Rider to your computer
2. Place your GPX files in the GPX2ITN folder on your device.
3. Disconnect your device from the computer.
4. Turn your device on.
Each file is then converted into an ITN file. You can convert up to 50 files in one batch.
5. When the conversion has finished you can load your Itinerary. In the Main menu, tap
Itinerary planning, then Options and Load Itinerary.
About ITN files
Contents
This file contains less detail than the GPX file but it allows you to retrace your route using
the Itinerary feature of your device. The ITN file can contain a maximum of 48 locations
but that is enough to recreate a route accurately.
Location
