GPS WAYPOINTS COORDINATES

The file "2008_MS150.gdb is in the Garmin MapSource "GDB Version 3" format and to use it requires the MapSource software on your computer be upgraded to V6.13.7 which was released February 27th.  This file is only usable by Garmin MapSource software.  Older versions of MapSource may not open this file.  The update is free from www. garmin.com at this specific link:

GPS WAYPOINTS COORDINATES
The file 2008_MS150_GPS_Waypoints_Coordinates.doc is a Word document containing the Latitude and Longitude of the significant points on the tour in text format
There are several Garmin map sets currently in use.  If you have a Garmin auto-routing GPS, we recommend that you convert the route files to be compatible with your particular map set prior to loading the routes to your GPS.  To do that, open the Garmin file in MapSource on your computer.  Go to the “Routes” tab and click on the first route listed.   When the “Route Properties” box opens, click on the “Recalculate” button on the right side.  That will calculate the routes to match your map set.  Click “Okay” and repeat this for the remaining routes.   This step is required for the routes to read properly in your GPS.  Waypoint only loading to Garmin GPS units without auto-routing should not be an issue.
