Plans are for a unit that will do well both off-road and on-road across multiple bikes.

Starting with “casual” trail riding on a CRF300L but also moving to something like a Rally Connex event (Dacre is on my sooner than later bucket list).

I want to be able to share it to a larger adventure bike for a more adventure touring, road oriented riding style.

Also willing to look at the Zumo XT2, though reviews seem to be...

The Montana 600 series have been discontinued by Garmin and there's nothing equivalent do far to replace them. Many agree it is the perfect off road riding GPS, not too big and not too small.

Says unknown error opening import file. Is it because they're in the US or something? I don't have my GPS plugged in so don't have full maps in could that be it?

I've attached a couple of the files.

I'm not sure if everyone is aware, but your GPS may be showing the incorrect date as of this morning.

A couple of articles which explain in greater detail what happened last night...

I'm looking to put a ride together with my buddies and was wondering if anyone had GPS routes they can share of the areas listed. I'm looking to do a 3 or 4 day trip, maybe around Algonquin or my buddy has a cabin in Gilmor right in the Weslemkoon area. So maybe do 3 or 4 days around there.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
