SportTracks software - way cool fun

Can you use it if you don't have a GPS, or would that be beside the point?

Ooh, ooh, ooh!

1) Install Apply Routes Plug-in and create several blank routes
2) Create your route/track on something like www.gpsies.com
3) Download as a GPX Track (do not choose the Garmin track and be sure that it saves as a .gpx file (my PC likes to save it as a .XML doc unless I change the "save as" type to "all files")
4) Import the file as a fake activity in ST and make sure there is a name in the name field
5) From the activity > Edit Activity > Create Route from Activities
6) Delete the fake activity

Now, when you ride that route, upload your data and create a new activity --
--From the activity > Edit Activity > Apply Route
