We have 6 different GPX file types to choose from: BMW, Garmin Rino, Garmin/Tomtom/Other; Harley Davidson, Honda (older), and Honda (2019). Click the button for your device to download a zip folder containing a set of 9 GPX files for navigating Ohio’s Windy 9.
IMPORTANT:
Once you import your GPX file and turn it into a Ride, make sure you switch Auto Recalculate to OFF. If you get off route, do not hit recalculate, as the Garmin won’t redirect you back onto your custom route, it will try and route you to the destination in the quickest way possible, essentially overwriting your route. As long as you stay on the static route line, the Garmin will give you turn-by-turn directions, but once you leave the route, that all goes out the window.
