Copying Files Off of the Garmin Montana 600
So, I'm thinking I'll copy the gpx files off of my Garmin Montana 600.
1) Launch EasyGPS.
2) Click on "Receive (from GPS)" icon.
3) Click OK.
So, now I see them in my EasyGPS app, but there's no topo map or anything. So, I save them off as s:\garmin\2017_10_02_CA_CO.gpx
Now, to upload them onto a map.
Go to http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/
Select your .gpx file.
Click Map It.
It says it will be available for viewing temporarily. But it also says I can download it, and I notice that my last GPS tracks that I uploaded are gone, and that was just a week or two ago. So, let me try to save it locally. So, I click the Download link on GPS Visualizer. It creates a local file named 20171006195032-68052-map.html in my download folder.
Basically, it's a map that shows me running around in Southern California, plus my one ride up the coast recently where I rode up the Pacific Coast Highway as far north as the Mud Creek Slide, one of the points where the Pacific Coast Highway was closed.
OK. Now, I create a new folder under the wwwroot folder called maps. wwwroot/maps:
http://www.peeniewallie.com/maps/20171006195032-68052-map.html
http://www.peeniewallie.com/maps/20170923182010-68052-map.html
However, I can't get these to load. It says "Oops! Something went wrong.
This page didn't load Google Maps correctly. See the JavaScript console for technical details."
Now, I want to delete my .gpx files from the Garmin Montana.
