How do I download and use GPS Waypoints

Q. Hi there,

 

I have subscribed to the download line and have downloaded the [Yorkshire] three peaks walk which we intend to do this Saturday.

 

I have noticed that there are a number of more waypoints on the printed map which have not downloaded direct onto my GPS. Would you recommend me inserting these into the route manually or are the ones that have been downloaded sufficient?

 

Thanks for your help.

 

Regards

P.S. Absolutely excellent site, and I can see me using your download service all of the time (especially downloading routes onto the GPS.)

A. Thanks for your comments - much appreciated.

 

The 'extra' waypoints in The Yorkshire Three Peaks Route Map are for reference only and you do not need to upload them into your GPS Device.
