There are programs that I have messed with but I didn't think I would use them
but I can hook the phone to be computer and mounts like a USB drive. Then I
can drop a gpx into the proper directory. But first we have yo figure out where
gpx files go, drop them there and see what happens. That's a lot of work for
the MOGA staff yo figure out how and where to put files for a couple users and
possibly unrealistic for phone cachers to expect MOGA yo have all the necessary
hardware, programs, cables and know how so I can use the phone. *I* can do it
but that is only a maybe.
