GPS for Dummies

Unfortunately most GPS’s instruction manuals only explain how to operate their devises. In this section I will explain how to USE your GPS, and really get your monies worth!
The fitness GPS’s available these days are really powerful training tools for the fitness conscious cyclist wanting to improve his/her fitness , but they are also amazingly adequate navigational tools. Even if you have a GPS not really marketed as a navigational tool, such as the Edge 305, it can be used to explore unknown territory with confidence,  with the help of the files available on this site.
The first instalments in this section are dedicated to showing you how the 2 Fitness GPS’s from Garmin can be used with the files I have made available on this site.
So, if you have one of Garmin’s fitness GPS’s, choose the area you want to explore, make the small donation towards getting more routes on this site, download the appropriate files and then follow the instructions provided.
If you have any problems using the files, or have further questions please do not hesitate to e-mail me at info@ecmtb.co.za .
