Emailing routes from my GPS, how?

[Big Lee]

Is it possible to email my route page I`ve loaded from my 2610 to another email address? A bit like Mike O did on his round the US trip.
Can anybody give me any ideas as I`d like to mail routes we`ve done to my fellow riders

Cheers

Assuming you have loaded your route into MapSource, just click File, Send Mail to email the .gdb file.

You can open Mapsource multiple times and copy/paste routes, waypoints etc, so you can copy a single route into a new file and email that.

Yep as above, just send the .GDB file as an attachment... Easy...

Example of the easiest way

Thanks guys

I tried the "send mail" yesterday but it didn`t work, today I saved the route to the "My Garmin" folder then "send mail" hopefully it`ll work I can see it when sent but I`ve got the Garmin program on my `puter

Are you sending it so someone without "the Garmin program"

If you are then they won't be able to open it.

You need to open the map with the route on it and do a screen print. Then send this as an image file attached to your e-mail.

It's not the computers fault, you need a bit of basic knowledge of files and applications to be able to use them properly

 

[richie]

Is that tongue in cheek or are you just taking the mick?

 

[Big Lee]

I know it isn`t the computers fault but it doesn`t stop me blaming it!
So, how do I do it? I am willing to learn

Hit the "Prt Sc" button on your PC within the map.

Then go to word and click paste.


save the word file and send that instead.

Beat me to it Richie, I find Gadwin Screen print indispensable....

Get it here for free! http://www.gadwin.com/

Set the preferances as below.......

Set the folder you save the images to as one on your computer, obviously the one in the pics is mine.
