Online Mapping, GPS, GPX, MMO etc

Track and Route Conversion 

GPX to MMO

GPX resources http://www.topografix.com/gpx_resources.asp

Copy route from PC to iPad
From: http://www.memory-map.co.uk/supportforum/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=4292
In Memory-Map on your PC, right click the route and "Save As".Next to "Save As Type", select "GPS eXchange (*.gpx)".Make a mental note of the folder and give it a name, and save the file.
Connect your iPad, and run iTunes.Click on your iPad, under "Devices" on the left side of the iTunes screen.Select "Apps" in the bar at the top.Scroll down to "File Sharing" and click the "Memory-Map" app.Click "Add" and browse to the folder where you saved the GPX file, and "Open".Depending on your iTunes settings, you might have to click the "Sync" button (bottom right). You might also have to check the box that says "Sync Apps" at the top. The screen on your ipad should momentarily say "Syncing"
Now, on the iPad, run Memory-Map.Flip to the data page.Tap the Mark or Track button on the toolbar.Tap Menu (top right) and Load Saved data.It should list the file name you transferred  This does not depend at all on the content of the file. It is just a listing of files in the Documents folder that have a .gpx extension.
