How do you create a GPX file? Can it be done with TOPO!?

Most GPS applications can create GPX files. There is a free utility (GPSBabel) for translating among gpx and some topo file types.

Some Garmin GPS units with SD cards can be set to store automatically each day's trek on the SD as a GPX file.

Thanks. I will check out your link. I don't keep my GPS on, nor do I usually even bring it, so looking to see if I can make a route I drew on TOPO! work. Perhaps the link will do that.
