  No worries.  To download a route, go to the route listing page (click the View link for the relevant route on your home page after signing in) and then select Download from the menu just above the map.  Then select the file format you want - GPS, GPX and Track - and click the Download button.

  Many thanks for your reply. Unfortunately you are dealing with a real "numpty" here (ME!!)

  How do I download a GPX track file from Plotaroute, where do I download it to?? I cant see any link/button to do this??

  Regards

  Hi Stuart - We don't have a Mio 505 here to verify but I believe these instructions should help you:

  1. Download the route as a GPX Track file from plotaroute.com
     
     
  2. Plug your Mio 505 into your computer and accept the connection when prompted on the device
     
     
  3. You should then be able to browse the files and folders on the device.  Copy the GPX file to the following folder: Mgn_data\Dodge\Tracks
     
     
  4. You can then disconnnet your Mio device from your computer.  You should be able to find the route on your Mio device under Navigate/Tracks.

  Hope that helps.

  Help!

  Have plotted cycle route on "plotaroute" but need now to donload it to my MIO505 unit.

  I have been told that I need to convert it into a GPX file, then download/drag file ????

  I am afraid at that point I am totally lost, anybody able to give me fairly detailed instructions?

  Many thanks for any help or advice.
