[Talk-GB] Newbie in Bath

[Frank Tompson]

Rob,

Thanks to your help I think I may have cracked it. It appears that when I
right click on a route (which in Memory-map's case is superimposed on a map)
I can then 'Save As' a .gpx file.

Can anyone advise if there is a way of testing a saved file to make sure
it's what it is supposed to be? I don't want to start mapping and uploading
rubbish.

With thanks,

Frank Tompson

I had a quick google. This document:

Implies you can export to GPX format directly from Memory-Map. You
shouldn't need gpsbabel, in that case.
