rebeccmeisterSo, I'm really excited to be getting ready to bike tour the Erie Canal very soon!
I did figure out how to make gpx segments for each day of riding, using RideWithGPS. I mean, it's the Erie Canal trail, so it will be very well marked, but there are always occasions where it's helpful to be able to pinpoint where we are at any particular point in time, relative to where we came from and where we intend to head. The whole reason to have a GPS, eh eh?
But there are also a handful of points of interest that I would like to have marked on my GPS (Garmin Extrex, FWIW). Things like campgrounds, grocery stores, geological features, et cetera. The points of interest aren't located immediately along the gpx segments, so it looks like I can't just add them to the gpx tracks.
Any suggestions on the least painful way to get those POI's into my GPS?
