Thanks Ed, 4x4abc had already sent me that YouTube, I followed it and when I click on to export the file, clicking on GPX (as it says to do), I get
that Adobe pop up that I showed just above.

Did you try to save it and not open it?

Well, when I put my mouse on it to do anything, and click, that Adobe message appears. Thanks for your assistance! Harald is also giving me ideas to
try.

Sure makes what Lewis and Clark, and others, did a lot more impressive ... and to think when young ... no phones and people was the big draw in Baja

Well, when I am exploring, it gives my wife and friends peace of mind seeing where I am and we can exchange texts.
The issue I am seeking help with is how to edit-correct the map track it creates online, that is all. The DeLorme inReach Explorer is a terrific tool
to communicate to phones or emails and give you your location.

Use care when using gpsvisualzer with GPSBabel as the version they use is not complete. If up want to convert files go direct to GPBabel.org direct as
it has all the features.

I was given a unit when they first came out to evaluate, before that I had a Spot but still had to carry a Sat phone in Baja to keep the Mrs. happy.
The two way texting and confirmation that my sent msg is received eliminates the need/expense/bulk of a sat phone. When riding in a group, you can
also communicate with other users. Really handy if you have to split the group up or some one gets separated. I had to use the sos stateside in a
remote area after nearly severing a finger. I was was in really technical terrain, no cell and I figured I'd lose the finger (hand surgeon agreed) if
I had tried to ride out. The extraction went pretty smooth thanks to the ability to communicate, it took several hours to get to me, I even got a nap
in. Great little device. I carry it whenever I'm riding or traveling out of the country. I've used the weather service a few times, have used the
mapping as I'm usually find with my Garmin Montana.

I use it in the airplane as an easy one button push should I be going down over bad terrain (most of where I fly here in N AZ)and for family to track
our progress in the airplane or the travel trailer. It also tracks altitude so they can see when I push the button that the altitude track was going
down rapidly. Great for rescue in the trees or mountains. I too, think the interface is troublesome. The texting defies my comprehension. Like was
said, designed by geeks at a desk as most electronic stuff is today. Including some of Garmin's
airplane stuff! Can see lots of needed improvements but it works for what we want right now.
