Using The Maps/Garmin Software / Can't open GPX files.
February 27, 2015, 06:15:19 AM
Dear Forum staff and Members,

I am a newbie to using GPS (etrex 20).  I have installed Garmin basecamp (latest version) and purchased great lakes 24k topo map for my etrex.  I am still in the infancy stage of using both my GPS and basecamp.  I endeavored to send a an attached gpx file to my daughter via email.  She said that her computer would not open that file extension.  She has an apple (Mac).  I sent the same to my computer (MS win7) with the same results, "unable to open that file extension".  I'm sure this is has already been addressed but I can use your help.  I would like to share my trail with my out of state children.  Kind regards and appreciation for this site and all your help.

General Discussion / Newbe Introduction.

Good day Members and Staff.  Getting started late in life to the hiking trails.  Live in the balmy tropical area of S. Mi. (ya right) Artic Vortex still has tight grip but maybe I can use my new gear soon.  I have just received my Garmin etrex (20) and I am overwhelmed with it all.  Have the Basecamp installed.  I just tried to send my daughter a couple of GPX files and she said that the file extension will not open nor would it open on my win7.  Im sure you have heard of this issue before.  Anyway hello and hope you can put up with another lost soul.
