Q. What file format does the Waypoints come in.

I need .loc .gpx?

Could you make it clear on your site what format they are in.

Thanks

A. For maximum flexibility our downloadable GPS Waypoints are available as a text (.txt) file.

We supply GPS Waypoints in this format so you can easily upload them into GPSU (a free GPS Utility). From there you can upload them into your GPS Device - or convert them into virtually any other format (including .gpx) you need.

For more information on the available file formats see the question GPS Waypoints in GPX format?
