How to write in GPX file format???

    We're planning a family to Disney next year, and I'd like to set up some custom POIs for my garmin sat nav. I'm thinking parks, restaurants and shopping - but - I'd like to be able to write my own GPX files, so I can include telephone numbers, parking fees, toll prices, bus stops, and general notes.

    Any ideas how to do this?

    Thanks Alun, had a look at that site and found a link to a site with a lot more detail, so between the two - I'm sorted!

    Thanks again!

    Had a look at that link and was a bit taken aback at their use of a photograph of that scumbag from Limerick giving the two fingers to the camera. A bit strange, that.

    WOW! I hadn't got to that page, as I was going through all the custom POI stuff.
    TBH - I doubt the site owner knows the story behind the picture.

    I'd imagine you're right, mrmac. Hope so, anyway.

    BTW, have you tried that software out? Is it any good?
