I am trying to down load a route from pedal up north, I can see the file I want to down load in a gpx format which is what I need to transfer to the garmin, yet when I save it, it saves it as a text file, can any one help

The file is a txt file that you can read. Is it just that it doesn't have a .gpx file extension? If so then just rename it on your puter

Try renaming it? I seem to remember that fixing an issue I had it the past.

You can also test the .gpx file isn't corrupted by viewing it on a gps viewing website like
