This isn't an official release from Vorra but the consensus is that it's what the course is going to be. There is an attached file that can be uploaded into your GPS or imported into Google Earth where a 'fly through' can be done. Here's the directions on that. It's pretty neat.


1. Download the USA 500 KML file.
 2. Load it in Google Earth.
 3. Click on the triangle to the left of Temporary Places.
 4. Click on the triangle to the left of GPS device.
 5. Click on the triangle to the left of Tracks.
 6. Click on the triangle to the left of Usa500.
 7. Click on Path.
 8. Look down toward the bottom of the left column for a little icon of three diamonds connected by a line. Click the triangle to the right of that icon.

There is a great program called GPS Babel we found that will allow you to take the USR file from Vorra and convert it to just about any format you need for your GPS.  Except it won't go to GPX, but if you drop it into the Garmin Basecamp (a free download) you can then drop it into GPX which is excepted by most mapping software.

I converted with GPSbabel directly and it didn't load correclty into the GPS... I'll try the 'basecamp' step in between and see if I have any luck.

I was able to convert the USR to a Garmin format then to GPX and it worked pretty well.
