Q. Now that I am a proud owner (I think) of a Garmin Etrex GPS, where can I find walks that include GPS co-ordinates?
Peter Cassidy, Southampton
A. We are busy adding GPS Waymark data and embedding it into each pdf file as well as providing Downloadable GPS Waypoints that you can upload into your GPS Device with an appropriate GPS Cable - get a copy of the current newsletter for a free example.
The easiest way to locate which walks already have Downloable GPS Waymark data and/or GPS Waymark data embedded into the pdf is to:
Select the area you want to go to from Walks or the Walk Search page.
: Walks with this icon have downloable GPS Waypoints you can upload into your GPS Device with a connecting cable.
: Walks with this icon have GPS Waypoint data embedded into the pdf which you can upload into your GPS Device by hand.
Alternatively, to see a list of walks which already have downloable GPS Waypoint files - click here
We are adding Downloable GPS Waypoints and GPS Waypoint data to our walks all the time (to our existing walks as well as all the new walks that warrant it) so keep a regular eye on the area of the country that interests you.
For the latest information about this (and anything else to do with go4awalk.com) sign up for our free regular newsletter.
Hope this helps
