How can you use this?  I assume that this is generated by the GPS unit as it is running.

I had trouble with the routes.  Santa Chuck sent me the MapSource file but it would not load into my Garmin 220.  I took his left/right sheet and recreated the route on my MapSource.  Again, it would not load into my GPS.  It would only load the waypoints, but no route.  I tried uploading again, this time making sure the boxes were marked for ROUTE and WAYPOINTS.  No routing.  I finally, manually created the route on the GPS using the waypoints that were downloaded.

I figure somewhere, somehow I am doing something wrong.

This is a new model Garmin ZUMO 220.

yes this was created from the GPS log files as we were riding.

I dont know if the zumo 220 can do this, but you can import this "track" into the zumo, and the zumo will give you the option to "create a route" using the imported track.

as for your problems loading a route into your zumo 220.... i see that it does support importing a route from mapsource... so i am not sure what the breakdown was for you.
