R U using a Windows computer?
I use Foxit Reader, it will open .pdf files but is a much smaller download (about 7mb instead of 47mb for the adobe thing)... here LINKY
Download and run/install that then you should be able to open the routesheet and print hopefully.

Sometimes you wish it was easier, but if it was, everyone else would do it, then you remember you don't want to be like everybody else!

Mate , I was the same as you last year and didn't know one end of a route sheet from another, but even I picked it up pretty quick. If you get lost or mixed up somewhere just whore along with a group till you get sorted or bored. or stick with one group for the entirety.cheers that did the trick.

Hi all, I need some one local (Christchurch) if possible to help me in setting up a borrowed a Garmin Zumo 550. I used unit last year and could only load 50 point map.(I am not that IT savy) This year I need to load 250 point map and ensure all settings are what they should be to help me have another go at cracking the 1 day.
Cheers Rod
PS might be a few green or brown bottles involved.....
Forum whore
Well, my preferred bottle is more of a clear/whitey colour but playing with gps s is so much fun I'd almost have to offer you a drink.
TimG has a Zumo so may know best but I would like to give it a go and I suspect Ryan would be keen to look at the zumo workings too.
They (garmin gps in general) normally accept 250 point Routes only in the 'off road' mode and are limited to 50 point routes if you try using them on the 'on road' mode.

I knew someone would be watching....That sounds very promising. I dont need all the bluetooth stuff just the basic deal. Last year it worked really well until we took a wrong turn and I think it recalculated and sent us up a climb I would have prefered to be on my enduro bike on.
Right then we need to chat. Josh has my number. Or how do you discreetly make contact? PM? thingy

This is the second contact I've had about Zumo's not working with the 250 point files. I'd love to have a look but time is rather limited at the moment.
The Zumo's try to be "clever" for you but in fact are only clever if you never leave the seal. This ride is clearly not about staying on the seal so those with Zumo's (and probably Nuvi's) need to look into changing the routing mode to "off road". As TA said most of the Garmin GPS units will handle 250 points in off road mode and only 50 when in on road.
For the Zumo 550's the manual is here and you need to look at page 46 and 47. To try and summarise you need to select the "spanner" (blue box with the white spanner), then select "navigation", then change "route preferance" from "fastest time" (probably on this setting) to "off road". This is most likely the same for other models of Zumo and the Nuvi's.
TimG can you add your 2c worth in here. I'm sure you've played with this before.
Cheers R
