→Tracks of the GPX File
====Tracks of the GPX File====
Unfortunately a KMZ file cannot be uploaded directly to a Garmin GPS but needs to be converted first into GPX file. 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. This results unfortunately in some loss of information, i.e. the Trail Type gets lost, but the file itself becomes more userfriendly.
Example one track nameof a regular hiking or packraft route: '''GPT01-RR'''
* '''GPT''': Abbreviation for '''G'''reater '''P'''atagonian '''T'''rail
Example two track nameof a optional or investigation route: '''GPT01-TR4A-OH'''
* '''GPT''': Abbreviation for '''G'''reater '''P'''atagonian '''T'''rail
* '''01''': Section number, in this example section 1
* '''-TR''': OPTIONAL Abbreviation for '''TR'''ack (Optional. Not not used for regular hiking or packraft routes.) * '''4''': OPTIONAL Running track number (Optional. Not used for regular hiking or packraft routes. The running track number is base on the equivalent KMZ file track number i.e. a 400 becomes a 4(not used for regular hiking or packraft routes.The running track number is)* '''A''': OPTIONAL Running letter (Optional. Not not used for regular hiking or packraft routes.)
* '''-OH''': The two-letter code at the end shows the '''Route Type''', in this example its a optional hiking route (see the tables above for used codes)
