When that new window shows up, click the full button. All you do is drag that simple code to your bookmarks bar and when you are on the page of your Google Map routeвЂ¦click the GMAPtoGPX link in your bar. Solution #1 вЂ“ With a simple Google search (the irony!), I was able to find a java script code that would take the map you see above and turn it into a GPX format! Sweet! You can find the code here. Problem #1 вЂ“ As it turns outвЂ¦Google likes to keep their maps pretty close to the chest, so there is no export optionвЂ¦what you see is what you get. Luckily, this Garmin came with the street mapping accessory, so I would be able to get turn by turn directions as we rode. With the 705, you have to export maps, like the Google Map, to a GPX file that the Garmin can read as a course. Sweet! At least we have a map! As I sat there starring at the Google Map, the thought occurred to meвЂ¦there has to be someway to get that map on the Garmin Edge 705. Jeremy went to the ride site and found the Google map (zoom out on map above to see route) that gave the exact turn by turn directions for the route. With road routes, you have the increased stress of traffic and even when it is a known route (like this one was for a charity ride with multiple mileage options), you wonвЂ™t know if it is well marked until you get there. Some like the adventure of that kind of ridingвЂ¦I just like to ride. I am not a fan of wasting time with a map as we try to figure out if we are actually lost or the next turn is really just at the end of that next hill. Normally, I hate doing new routes or trails without the aid of someone who has ridden it before. A couple of friends of mine decided that they wanted to try out a new route on Monday that was a charity ride in our area. WerenвЂ™t we having something called a drought at some point in time?ДЄnywaysвЂ¦the increased road riding has given me the time to really test out the mapping features on the new Garmin Edge 705. With no end in sight, it looks like my legs are going to continue to get in some road spinning until mother nature decides to play nice. Due to the enormous amount of rain we have been seeing in the southeast lately, my road bike has been seeing more use as all of the trails are soaking wet.
