 +===== Upload OpenStreetMap route to the Garmin =====
 +
 +There is a fantastic service offered by **[[https://maps.openrouteservice.org/|maps.openrouteservice.org]]**: just choose a **starting** and an **ending point** on the map, add waypoints if required, select **pedestrian** or **car** routing. Then **download the GPX track** that you can **upload** to the Garmin Foretrex.
 +
 +I used a serial-to-USB adapter, with **gpsbabel** on GNU/Linux, this is the command line:
 +
 +<code>
 +gpsbabel -t -i gpx -f Track_cerchiaia-pacini.gpx -o garmin -F /dev/ttyUSB0
 +</code>
 +
 +Be sure you put the GPS in Garmin mode: //Setup// => //Set interface// => //I/O Format Garmin//.
