Instructions
============

If you have not downloaded the ZIP file directly from the active TGV Audax event listing page, please do so now as this file may be out of date. The event listing page will always include the most up to date file.

We do not have access to any non Garmin navigation units so these instructions are for Garmin although may be similar for other devices.

ZIP Contents
------------

Within the ZIP file are 2 route files (these are the exact same route but are for different devices):

  1. FIT file suitable for Garmin devices at least as new as the Edge 530
  2. GPX file suitable for all devices

The benefit of the FIT file is that it contains course points for the controls meaning you'll be able to see a "distance to" each shown on a data page and there's an alert when a control point is reached.

There are no other alerts (such as dangerous junctions, road conditions, etc.) as this would require the route to be created with a RideWithGPS subscription.

Installing The Route
====================
