Can you download the file to  PC / Laptop?

If so you need to connect your Garin to your PC / Laptop and copy the GPX to the NEW FILES folder.

If you can't get the file downloaded post where you are trying to get it from.

Si

EDIT ** You will eed to extraft the GPX from the zip file and save it on your PC / Laptop.

Download the zip, unzip, put the gpx in the New Files directory on the 810. Just connect 810 to PC using USB cable and open it as an external drive (like a memory stick). Eject garmin from PC.

It then processes the GPX and turns it into a course.
