Creating & Posting
Your Rides
The first step is to create your links and GPS files to be uploaded into the
database. You do not have to upload to every field so choose just what you
would like to include in the database. Although you can upload files and
links from any source, I use Garmin's MapSource to either create my routes or
download them from my GPS and then save them as Garmin GDB and GPX files to be uploaded to the
database. There is a great site called
EveryTrail which has a number of
different ways that you can create a map link that can be pasted in the "Map
Link" field.
Lastly, "Register" (uses email confirmation to keep out the riff-raff) and
then
"Login" to the database below. Click on "Routes", "Add new" to bring up the
window for adding routes. Be sure to click on "Save" after entering your
data. Hint: if you include a group designation such as "GL1800" or "MTF")
after your name, others can use the Advanced Search feature to find just those
rides for your group.
