Garmin Aera 660 GPX File Installation Procedure

Published 2020-06-14
In this video I used the 44th edition of the Vancouver VTA chart, which contains some 117 VFR Checkpoints, scattered all over the map. It's useful to me to be able to call up one or more of these checkpoints while flying and use them for navigation or for referencing my exact location relative to one of them when communicating with ATC.
I don't go into any real detail on how to create a GPX file - so I'll say it here, though it's implied in the video. If enough viewers request a tutorial on GPX files I'll go ahead and make a video about those too.

Please do make a tutorial on creating a GPX file. We have custom user waypoints in .wpt format for the GTN750 for survey work that we're looking at get into the 660. Goal with the 660 in addition to the GTN 750 is to have a device that also shows a breadcrumb trail (to be clear what we've completed), similar to how the olf 496 used to work. Thank you!

thanks for the video! Howdy from YNJ. I just created the CSV file for YVR VTA Checkpoints and loaded that onto Garmin Pilot but now I guess I need to somehow convert that to a GPX file? or is there another way? thanks again.
