GPS files

[PYGA1]

Happy new year everyone.

 

iI'm looking at buying a Bryton Rider 35 or Garmin Edge 500, I can get the Bryton for R500 less than the Garmin and from what I can see they have exactly the same functions.

 

My only concern is can a gps file that was created by a Garmin be loaded onto the Bryton ? I don't want to get the Bryton and then not find files for a place like Mankele or similar and find them available for the Garmin.

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

Can't really help much, though I know that the Garmin usesd .fit files, not sure what the Bryton uses

Thanks, anyone else have any insight ?

Go to Bryton's facebook page and post the question to them, they're pretty quick to respond

Cool will try that, thanks

Google "GPS Visualizer". Brilliant site and you can convert lots of formats back and forth. I'm positive you'll be able to find a workable solution to get a Garmin map to work on a Bryton, some common ground/format.
