Ben Vorlich and Stuc a' Chroin GPX Waypoints Download


Postby Geo80 » Sat Aug 16, 2014 12:00 am

Hi Paul,

I tried to download the gpx waypoints for Ben Vorlich and Stuc a' Chroin however received the message "Unknown error opening import file" when I opened it in Basecamp (Garmin GPS).

To date I have downloaded approx 30+ gpx routes from the site and have had no problems.

I would appreciate it if you can look into this. For Plan B I registered for the free trial on Munro Magic to download the gpx route for the walk but this route is completely different and far less detailed when compared with the Walkhighlands route as it only has 17 waypoints.

Will plan a different walk for tomorrow in the meantime.

Thanks

George

Paul,

That's it sorted now. I used Easy GPS and saved the route to my desktop and it opened fine using Basecamp.

Thanks for that.

Regards
