PowerTap Joule GPS User Guide - Manual (Page 26)

TIP: The Joule GPS only allows a route name to display 15-16 characters. Keep this in mind when naming imported routes.
NOTE: ridewithgps.com is one of the few websites which exports Turn-by-turn directions in their route files, but only in the
TCX format and only if you create the route in ridewithgps.com. They do not provide turn-by-turn in their GPX format files.

ROUTES, continued
Transferring routes to the Joule GPS:
• Create a ride route using your favorite mapping site on the World Wide Web (e.g. ridewithgps.com,
mapmyride.com, strava.com, etc.).
• Save the route and export it from the mapping site as a GPX or TCX file (see TIP below).
• Open PowerAgent and import the route file. Select “Show Routes” from the Window menu to verify that the newly
imported route is in the list.
• With your Joule GPS “on” and plugged into the computer, from PowerAgent, select “Configure Device” from the
Tools menu.
• From the configuration window, select the “Routes” tab.
• Select or Check the route(s) you want to transfer to the Joule GPS and click the “Save.”

More Turn-by-turn details:
When the route selected contains associated Turn-by-turn
directions, a Route Cue Sheet dashboard will appear in
your list of dashboards. The Route dashboard will display
the heading, the distance, and direction to the next route
point (a turn or point of interest). The route is also
displayed on the Map dashboard. When you are within
about 200m (600 ft) to your next turn a popup message
notice will appear indicating the direction to turn and
counting down your progress to the upcoming turn.
For a route to have Turn-by-turn directions you must
create it using a mapping website which has the
capability to produce a route file containing turn-by-turn
information. Not all mapping sites have this capability.
