Hi, I am new to Karoo 2

I am doing the London to Brighton in September and I have a TCX and GPX file of the route, which one is best to use with the Karoo.  They both show the same distance, one shows an elevation of 3638ft the other 3634ft, not much of a difference, but which is the best file for the Karoo GPS or TCX, thank you.

  Hi Mark

  I'm not sure it is as simple as .tcx or .gpx. I think it depends what planner is used and what they do 'under the bonnet'. My experience, based on using cycle.travel, is that .tcx has the capacity to show more detail. I have used both on one of my favourite routes and .tcx is definitely better, in my opinion. Worked very well on my K2.

  Best
