If you're poor like me, your Garmin may have limited memory. Personally, I usually wait until I'm close to the ghost railroad I am going to follow before turning on the trip planner. I display the route on my nuvi 2595 by selecting Apps/Trip Planner and selecting the desired route. I've owned 3 Garmins and every one of them has been different. In this example, my Garmin nuvi 2595 is shown under the “Devices” folder, so I select it and click OK. Right Click on the new route BaseCamp created and select “Send To”.
BaseCamp will create a highlighted route (as shown below). Select “Create Route from Selected Track” as shown belowĪlmost done. Right Click on the track shown on the map Now, use BaseCamp to create the route that your Garmin can recognize. The window will appear similar to the image below – a bunch of waypoints and a track. In this example, I am selecting “ CSX – Monon – Bedford to Bloomfield(1).kmz ” from my Downloads folder. Select File/'Import into my collection' from the top menu and select the downloaded kmz file. Import the downloaded kmz file into “My Collection” by: The initial window will appear similar as shown below: Many kmz files on the net do not meet this criteria, so be careful when downloading from another site.Ĭonnect your Garmin to your PC, wait for your PC to recognize your Garmin, and open BaseCamp. IMPORTANT – the tracks of the kmz file must run in one direction. Go to Butch's Indiana Railroad Maps and download the desired kmz file. Regretfully, I cannot get BaseCamp to run on Linux, but it runs great on Windows.
This proved to be easy using Garmin's free software – BaseCamp. After I created the ghost railroad routes on GE, I had to find a means of transferring routes from the GE kmz files to my Garmin nuvi 2595. It's much easier to track the route of a ghost railroad from Google Earth than tracking it from a car. Ever look for a ghost railroad while driving the backroads of Indiana and lose track where the grade went? This is the reason I created “Butch's Indiana Railroad Maps” site. These instructions are for Ghost Railroad hunters.
