Lewis & Clark expedition

You'll have to convert it from a DeLorme Transfer (.dmt) File format first though.

Thanks for the prompt reply !!
It appears most of this route follows interstates...I wonder if a more accurate mapping is available following two lane roads??? I will be doing the ride on my motorcycle....
Thanks again...

Found a better solution for you. Download this .gpx file from my site: http://members.shaw.ca/anon_y_mous/files/

Right-Click the file and 'Save As'.

Most of Lewis & Clark's expedition was by water routes, looking for the source of the Missouri River. Are you going to get the Garmin Water Maps?

Just having fun, enjoy the trip!

I realize the original was mostly by water...I plan to try to follow the river as much as possible, however, I will stay on dry land !!!
Thanks for your help....

Thanks for the update...I have downloaded it with no problem...I will review the route and let you know what I think....
Thanks again for your help !!!

When I did the download, the file downloaded as a XML file, how do I change it to a GPX file for the Garmin ??
Sorry for the trouble !!!

Seems like it's already in GPX format. Right-click on the file "Lewis_and_Clark.gpx", then select "Save link as"

The referenced file is a nice but small collection of 25 sites of interest to those tracking the journey - though it is missing some key locations. Thanks for the pointer.

I agree that it would be really nice to have a nearest-local-road route (though if I recall correctly, there are some stretches in Western Montana or Idaho that are pretty rough (FWD/trail-bike) so alternatives might be useful. That might not qualify as a 'POI file' though.

Another alternative, a good project for someone dedicated, would be POIs for all the campsites (or their educated-guess locations). This information is all more-or-less readily available, either online or in books, but is not always in a convenient format.

For instance, Missouri points are downloadable from http://lewisclark.geog.missouri.edu/campsintro.shtml - but in GIS format!

For what might the best option, see http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=481071 - spend some money, get the GPX files. I think this seriously needs to go on my "buy list."

You don't want to put pontoons on the bike? You could follow the exact route then.

Here's the ride I took:
http://garmin-mapsource.wikispaces.com/RT-66

Here are photos from that ride:

The GPS route you posted is of Rte 66, I am looking for the Lewis & Clark Rte....
I did the Rte 66 ride this year, left early June 2010.
If you have the Lewis & Clark route, I will appreciate it.
Thanks.....

I did that, it downloads as a XML file...
The file does not show on my Garmin Zumo 660...
Any ideas ???
Thanks

Try this. I've renamed it 'Lewis_and_Clark.wav'. DL that, and then change the extension back to .gpx.
