Instructions

How to Use the GRIT Trails

GPS Device

After downloading the KML/GPX track onto your computer, you will have to use the provided GPS software(eg:Garmin uses Basecamp)  to import tracks to GPS device. We recommend you have an India map preloaded on your GPS device.

 

Mobile Phone

After downloading the KML/GPX onto your device, open the file in the associated mapping app. The Route will show up as a track marked clearly on the map.

Follow this route to start riding the GRIT.

 

Note:- Mapping apps will have a navigation or route record option to prevent the screen from going to sleep while on the trail. We recommend a power source for your device as constant GPS usage can drain your battery.
