Just wondering where best to put posts for things relating to use of GPS and suchlike (those wonderful beacons of light)? :D

Nothing special in mind at the mo, was thinking touring, or maybe a sub-forum of touring called navigation? With Garmin GPS (not sure about other brands), you can also share routes/waypoints etc (through the use of Mapsource - which I am funnily enough obsessed with at the moment, hence this very thread), so could become a good way of sharing stuff...

edit: Can I also be lazy and ask for ability to upload gdb files? (mapsource format files). Largest I have created yet is 400kb, and that was the Grand Challenge... so don't need much more than 500kb I wouldn't think. I tried expending energy and compressed into a zip... only for zips to not be allowed either... I think the site laughed at me :( I can change the extension to bypass, but I KNOW someone will ask why they can't open it...

Maybe you should just start a thread in the Touring & The Bikes You Use area and call it something suitable then any files you want to upload use one of those free off site hosts and link to your files stored there.
There is already several gps threads in Touring & The Bikes You Use but none really sharing info in the way I think you intend.
