Any GPS route downloads.

Just wondering if there are any routes for North Wales that i can download
to my gps to follow.
Are there any sites where i can download routes.
I'm not interested in anything high like Crib goch at the moment. (That was
a great walk but I'm needing something more leisurely and picturesque right
now)

Any good websites?

Many Thanks

If you're using Anquet for route-planning, you could try their website -
www.anquet.com - as they have a whole list of routes for download.

First learn to use a map and compass, and carry them.
North Wales has too many crags, etc. etc. for only using a gps.

Did I miss something, or did the guy simply ask for a bit of information,
and you assumed he was not going to use a map and that he cannot use a
compass and doesn't carry one. It's this high handed patronising remarks
like this from some people stuck in the dark ages, that puts people off
asking questions and are likely to go elsewhere. Are you used to giving
orders......and having them ignored?

A well planned GPS route should avoid the crags, unless it's a
scrambling route.

Of course, any GPS route should really be tested by walking it before
putting it on the net, and appropriate corrections made in the case of
obstacles, difficult ground, overgrown vegetation etc. You really can't
just plan it on the map and assume it will be okay.

I think the best way to create such a route would be to plan it, then
walk it, then create a new route from the actual track that you walked,
using Ozi to reduce the number of points in the track to a manageable
number for a route. Or you could simply publish the track, some people
like to follow tracks rather than routes.

If it were going to be made available on the net it would need a lot
more waypoints than I usually use, to help make it idiot proof, and it
really should be walked in advance, and then of course there's the
disclaimer...
