Let's see. I have an iTouch, iPad, Android phone, Kindle, Macbook, iMac. Should I go on? Life without my gadgets is meaningless!
edited to add: and I should have said a Garmin on the way!

The only one I know of CC. But then I have one and have been so happy with it I haven't exactly been looking around to see what everything else has!
The only caution with having maps of the tracks is that somebody has to have mapped them and made them available in a suitable format for your Garmin. Some dude called Harry has done all the ones in South East Queensland, so I'm good. But I have no idea who has been mapping WA for you.

If you can zoom in close enough on the satellite image to see your trail, you can map it yourself. Just uncheck "follow roads." It won't work if there's heavy tree cover or if there aren't high-resolution images, but from what I can see of the vicinity of Perth, you ought to be able to make it work.

Or, if it's a trail that you might do several times but not often enough to remember it, you can do it the first time with a paper map or whatever, then upload your track and create a course or a track that you can use for future rides.Last edited by OakLeaf; 10-29-2010 at 05:36 PM.
