The files and their functions are briefly described below..

ZIP -File:
MDMOT_All_GPS_Data__xxxx.zip
This file can be saved on a Windows/Mac (PC/laptop). This ZIP file contains several formats such as GPX, ITN, OV2, and KML and can be used with various navigation systems (Garmin/OziExplorer/Navi-APP/Google Maps, and Google Earth). (More information on the next pages.)

GPX off-road single route file:
MDMOT_GPX_Tracks_Off-Road_Routes__xxxx .gpx
This file is only available in some motorcycle books; it contains the individual panoramic routes, but these are also included in the daily stages. The procedure is the same as for daily stages.

POI/Waypoints GPX File:
MDMOT_GPX_POI_Waypoints_.gpx
This file contains all important points. These can be sights, entry points, exit points, important points, or accommodations (camping/guesthouses/hotels)..

GPS data explanation, what is a route, a track or a POI / waypointSpecies:
We have 3 types of GPS data (routes, tracks and POI/waypoints)Species:We have 3 types of GPS data (routes, tracks and POI/waypoints)

What are routes:
Routes have at least two points, a start and an end point. If, for example, the start is in Munich and the end is in Berlin, the sat nav calculates the route based on its settings (fastest, shortest, or most winding). There is a risk that this could result in incorrect routes; for example, if you want to drive via Nuremberg, a three-point (intermediate destination) Nuremberg is added. We tried to create a route with multiple points (intermediate destinations). The routes, as in the book, always begin with Route(s)_xxxx. If you drive the route in reverse from Berlin to Munich, the file is always called U_Route(s)_xxxxxx. The U_Routes only exist in part.

What are tracks:
Tracks are a series of points arranged in a line. Tracks are the best way to do this because they don't miss any events, as the track follows the exact route. Between route points 3 and 4, the route would only take the direct route, but the track would follow the exact route.

What are waypoints/POIs:
Some call them waypoints, others POIs. For us, these are important points such as attractions, starting points for the stage, accommodations (campsites/guesthouses/hotels/huts), passes, information points, etc. You can usually navigate to these points by entering a destination. For example, if you've reached the stage destination of Berlin and want to go to the Hotel 3 Mori, there's a number in our book, e.g., H25 (Hotel 3 Mori). You can then select this point on the navigation system and navigate there.
the Zip-File (MDMOT_All_GPS_Data__xxxx.zip)contains various GPS formats such as GPX/PLT/KML/GDB)The Zip-File
(MDMOT_All_GPS_Data__xxxx.zip)
contains various GPS formats such as GPX/PLT/KML/GDB), these are stored in compressed form in the file so that the file size is smaller and can therefore be downloaded more quickly from the Internet. The ZIP file can be downloaded to a MAC/Windows PC and then unzipped if necessary. The following folders with the GPS data should then be visible on the hard drive.
Garmin_GDB_Data:
This folder contains a GDB format file containing all tracks/routes/waypoints. If you want the GPS data individually, you can find it in the GPX_Data folder (click here for more info).Garmin_GDB_Data:This folder contains a GDB format file containing all tracks/routes/waypoints.

Explorer files are still very common in off-road navigation systems. Some are Navigator or 4x4 Globe.Important: In the OZI-Explorer folder there is a small documentation (G) about OziExploerer files using the example of the navigation device Navigattor.,
Garmin_GDB_Daten:
This folder contains all files in GDB format (routes/tracks/POIs/waypoints). These can be imported via Garmin Basecamp or Garmin Explore, for example, and transferred to the navigation system.

Garmin_SD_card_create
If you own a Garmin device, you can also create a micro SD card with our GPS data on a Windows/MAC PC/laptop and then insert the micro SD card into your Garmin device. The prerequisite is that the micro SD slot on your Garmin navigation device is still free. A short instruction manual is located in the folder "Garmin_SD_Karte_erstellen".
KML General
The KML_Files (D) folder contains several files that can be viewed in Google Earth, for example. KML is also one of the standard GPS formats used by some navigation systems and mobile apps.
Google Earth:
We've usually stored the routes in KML format. This can also be accessed with Google Earth to get an overview.

Become a 4x4 Europe Marathon Master:
It is a marathon off-road challenge where certain places on our off-road routes are approached. We call these places marathon points.

These marathon points can only be found in our 4x4 Europe Roadbooks. There is a marathon point for each off-road route in the book.
The aim is to collect as many of these points and become the Marathon Master for the respective country/region.



How does the 4x4 Europe Marathon work

Step 1 (prerequisite for taking part in the marathon): 
Order a start number for the marathon in the online shop. You will be registered with us and then receive 2 large and 2 small start number stickers (example NR 99). Order your start number (click here). You only need the start number once and can then drive several marathons.


Step 2: Buy a 4x4 Europe Roadbook book/ebook, it contains all marathon points for the respective region/country.

Step 3: There is an option for each book (incl. participation in the marathon), there is a small processing fee for managing the points and the ranking.

Step 4: You drive on an off-road route from the 4x4 Europe Roadbook, e.g. B. Bosnia and come to a marathon point. You snap a photo of the marathon point and send us the photo with your start number.
Collect the marathon points, the table (in the book) where you can enter a note also serves as a little help.


Step 5: Send us all the photos of the points by email or WhatsApp, stating the start/participant number.

Step 6: We check the points and you are listed as a marathon master on our ranking lists (information on ranking lists is available at www.mdmot.de/de/marathon-ranking).

Step 7: We will send you 2 "Marathon Master" stickers and a certificate.

MDMOT SD + MicroSD card
These SD micro SD card is only for Garmin - devices (see list below). Simply insert the card in the Garmin device and all routes, waypoints, POI's and overlay routes are on the device.

 

General infomation:
For even better navigation of our offroad routes we started to create so-called Overlay routes.
How can one imagine that:
It is a glass foil puts them on a map and draws with a marker, the route to the glass foil, the map remains visible underneath. The routes are as drawn with a felt pen.
Advantage:
One does not need a GPS device with offroad function, it can be a road navigation device for e.g. Nüvi be used.
It is not dependent on how the setting of the GPS device is (shorter route, fastest route, etc.)
You can always see where you are so that to lose way is minimized.

We have also always the entry points on our CD's so that you can choose to navigated by the navigator to an entry point route, then the overlay route begins.
We have this overlay routes just for Garmin - devices (a list see below).

Worth knowing about overlay routes
1. Overlays routes are shown in a Navi like roads. The color is red, blue, green or yellow. The overlay routes are not routing capable, that is just as well, because by your special color and style identifier one knows this in Navi.
2. If you move the cursor over such a route then the name of the route is displayed. This overlay routes are seen only less than 3 Kilometres Zoom factor on the device.

5. As selection there are camping and entry points as well as a number of categories. We choose the category entry points.

pp78fe16b3.gif  pp54ad3a0e.gif 
ppffeda1c0.gif 3. In the detail view you can now see a straight line route, and there is also indicated an overlay route (red). As you can well see the vehicle is located directly on the route, the air line route deviates, one always knows whether one is still on the right track.
