Lol, I am screwin', but an extra 5 gallon tank is a requirement for the run, and I'd rather bring my tank than one of the ones laying around the house

OK Bigg. I've formulated a question on motion x!
You talked a about files and google. Does that pertain to motion x?

You can convert routes you create on Google maps to GPX format which Motion X along with other apps use. Just use this GPS Visualizer: Convert GPS files to plain text or GPX. Just click GPX format and it will convert it. On the next page there will be a link to download the file.

None of this is needed for this run as I'll email out the files already converted. I can't remember if I sent you the files yet as a few guys have asked for them. If not, just pm me your email and I'll send them over.

The only downloading you will need to do is download the map area with the motion x app. All you do is go to -setup-map downloads-download new maps-motion x road and you'll see this

And you just make sure the circle covers the route and then hit download. By downloading the map of the area ahead of time it will allow the app to continue working with out cell service. The GPS receiver still works but it just can't download the map to overlay the route over without cell service. This solves that problem.

I'm planning on getting to the meet spot early so if your having any trouble setting it up I can help.

There is no setup off the menu button!! I've looked everywhere.


Holy Halapeno Burger Rapman!!!

There are two Motion-X apps!
I've been using Motion-X GPS Drive. It appears Motion-X GPS is what I need.

I'll be back.

I might stay the night and drive back Monday morning. If I do most likely I will stay at Harvey's or Harrah's. but still not 100%

I was planning to but I just started a new job so it's a bit early to take a day off.

Bigg, can you email me the map for the new second day of the run?

Ill get it to you this evening. I haven't had a chance to convert the final file yet.
