TRANS WISCONSIN ADVENTURE TRAIL GPS PAGE
On this page you will find links to the GPS files for the T.W.A.T. route. There are
several versions so read the description. These files should work on most GPS
units that allow tracks to be displayed. Many of the newer automotive style units
are not well suited for this type route.
I use a Garmin 60CSX and usually run the TOPO software. This software does not
allow for auto routing so I just zoom in on the track and follow that. This method
works very good as long as you keep an eye on the turns. There is no guarantee
that these files will work for you, so take a look at them and make sure they load
correctly before taking off on your trip.
Big thanks to Bryan Much (cannonshot) and Mark Sampson
(BigDogAdventure.com) for the help with this route.

The TWT 2.3 route is the standard file that I send out to most people. Its been
tested out by quite a few people and works well. It has the track and a route so it
should work with most GPS's

Same as the other version, just in a GPX file format.
NEW !!!
This spring I lead a group from the
Madison BMW club on a GS ride. I
took them from Soldiers Grove into
Iowa and finished on the section of
the T.W.A.T. that runs from Prairie
Du Chien back to Soldiers grove. I
found out that they were paving the
best road on that section of the
route, making it a rather boring
section. So, I decided to add in the
first part of the track that went into
Iowa.
This is a very fun section that I think
adds a lot to the route, even though
is not in Wisconsin. I only have this
as an additional track so far, and
added it to the regular 2.3 route. I
also added Randy Nissens
alternate finish / return route.

NOTE: Only the TRACK follows the new path, the ROUTE is still the
same as the old version for now.

| I changed the tracks for 2011 to compensate for some closed roads and to make it a bit more interesting in a few spots. These are tracks only and will not auto route! |
