Entering multiple Addresses at once

   Hello,
Great site.  Very well done.
I have a question about uploading several locations at once.  Your site is excellent when loading one location at a time.  When uploading multiple locations, your site instructs me to upload a GPX file.  How do I create a GPX file to be uploaded?  I currently have the addresses saved in an Excel file.  Would I need to provide the coordinates along with the addresses when making a GPX file or will your site convert the address to GPS coordinates like it does when entering one address at a time?
Thank you very much for your feedback.  
PS - If there's a solution to my question, I'll be excited to upgrade to the Premium version.
Thanks again.
- Steve

	Steve, Thanks for the post. Currently, we only support uploading valid GPX formats that contain lat/lon coordinates and not addresses. We are working on adding in support for uploading a CSV file that could contain lat/lon or address values, but that is not yet complete. Here are two options that you can use to create a GPX file and then you can use our site to upload the GPX to create your tour locations: 1. Use Garmin MapSource to create waypoints at each location and then go to File - Save As and specify to save it as a GPX file. 2. Use GPS Visualizer to create a GPX file by giving it a list of addresses. It will then geocode each address and create a GPX file for you to download. See here: http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/geocoder/ Hope that helps! Let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks! Scott
