GPS Routing		I have placed here the file used by Garmin MapSource. This is the program on the PC used to generate routes which may be downloaded to the Zumo. If you have a Zumo or any Garmin GPS that uses MapSource you should be able to use this file. It has all the routes as well as waypoints for the Lodge and the campground as well as several other points. To download this file, right click on the link to the left and select 'Save Target As' and then select where on your computer to save it. Then open it using MapSource. Good luck and if you have any comments or problems, please email me.
