Advice for Garmin eTrex Users

This is just a reminder to ETrex users that the devices can only hold 250 way markers for a route. As the longer routes (+8kms) can contain more than 250 way markers you will need to break a route into 2 parts (each part fewer than 250 way markers) or convert the route into a track.

I do this in Garmin Basecamp on my laptop and then upload the modified routes/tracks onto my device from there.

  Yes, thanks very much Lynn for the advice of using Basecamp to split up a route.  I've come up against the way marker limit of 250 for my Garmin GPS and  I’ve been using a tedious method to split the route.  Basecamp does it much easier, so thanks.
