3. MapSource for Bikers: Take a Look Put Some Software in Your Toolbox

   Prerequisite(s): Basic computer and GPS skills.

   Got a Garmin GPS? Maybe you're already using it on your rides, but have you tried creating a trip with MapSource and downloading it to your GPS before you go? MapSource provides detailed road information to keep you on paved roads, include points of interest, and give you alternate routes to try. If you bring your laptop (with MapSource), GPS and cable, you can make this a hands-on class. Otherwise, sit back and enjoy the demo. It will give you something to do until the weather warms up!

   You'll need Garmin MapSource software and the software that came with your GPS installed on your laptop if you bring these along.
