Route

Trans Oz Route

The ridewithgps.com (RWGPS) links listed in the table below are to download the GPX Track files. 14 GPX track files make up the length of the 4000km course. Each file contains less than the 10,000 track point maximum for Garmin Edge GPS units (most of the recent Edge models are OK). It is not recommended to use the "GO TO" function of the GPS with the GPX track files but to simply display the GPX track file on your map-screen and zoom in to ensure you are on course, this will stop the GPS from locking up when the device tries to navigate or re-route the course in mysterious ways... When the map-screen is not needed it is recommended that you return to a data only screen, this will extend battery life. Please note that I have not made TCX files available, RWGPS have the TCX files available for download but some may contain more than 10,000 track points.

NOTE the global average riding speed is a minimum of 8.333kph or an average of 200km/day for the entire route. You might ride less than 200km on a particular day but would make up for this by riding more than 200km on another day. You can of course ride at a faster pace to reach Bondi Beach in less than 20 days if you wish.
