Tour guide beginner question

Hi,

I am trying to get a better understanding of Tour Guides. When I load a Tour Guide, it appears under Custom POIs (Garmin 750) as individual points. They all work with audio and video but it seems like I should have something more like a Route rather than a bunch of individual points. The tour was from the geovative.com site and was of San Francisco. Do I need to rename it to SFTourGuide.gpx? The only thing I can think of is to take them into MapSource as Waypoints and then make a route to those points and then send it to the GPS as a Route. Is that the way to do it? What does naming it as *TourGuide do?

Thanks
Lee

I'm assuming you selected either "One-step Transfer" or "Download TourGuide GPI File" when you downloaded the tour...

Since you have a nuvi750, you can also transfer the tour route by clicking on the orange "transfer the tour route" link near the bottom of the Download as Garmin TourGuide page.

Geovative has detailed information on the Garmin TourGuide format and instructions on using your tour here:
