Anyone know of a way to create step-by-step/turn-by-turn cue sheets from a Garmin (510 or 910xt) .fit file?

    I've created cue sheets for my IM camps using RidewithGPS.com:

    • Create the route
    • It generates a rather busy cue sheet
    • But there's an editing tool that lets you edit the cue sheet, so you can make it simpler to read. 
    • Save ^that^ as a .pdf

    I imagine they have a process whereby you upload a GPS file, it puts on a map and generates a CS from that? Or you can just us my process above. 

  • Garmin connect has a course creator tool. It's easy to crest your course with mouse clicks on a map and then just export the course to your device. Then you will get all the turn by turn info. Higher end devices with map pages will show it on a map.
  • I know of ridewithgps, mapmyride, etc, where you have to manually create point-to-point mouse clicks to create a map, but I'm looking for something a little more automated or systematic way. The route I have is 60 miles long, and somewhat technical, I can't imagine clicking on a map all that activity!
  • I have an edge 500 and have used this in the past to pull a gps file convert to a course and push it to the 500. Worked pretty well for an 80 mile ride but I kinda knew where I was going and the 500 is not really meant to do this very well.

    How about this for the 510?
