The '''KMZ file''' format is optimal for '''display and editing on a computer with Google Earth'''. In example tracks and waypoints can be organized in a folder structure what facilitates handling a large number of individual tracks and waypoints. Unfortunately a KMZ file cannot be uploaded directly to a Garmin GPS but needs to be converted first into GPX file (in example with the free Garmin "Basecamp" software). See also the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyhole_Markup_Language wikipedia article] for further information to the KMZ/KML file format.

The '''GPX file''' format is optimal for '''uploading the trail file(s) to a handheld GPS devise'''. This applies in particular to Garmin equipment. Also when using a handheld GPS devise it is of advantage to minimize the number of individual tracks. The Garmin devise that I use (GPSMap 62) is unable to display more than 200 individual track. Therefore numerous individual tracks that are in line were joined to minimize the number of tracks in the GPX files. See also the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_Exchange_Format wikipedia article] for further information to the GPX file format.
