What gets the equivalent
of 1,000 miles per
gallon, doesn't pollute,
will save the world,
and transports you in
breezy style? Your bike.

WHAT ARE THE GPS FILES?
The waypoint files are keyed to the maps of the routes in the Adventure Cycling Route Network (ACRN). We have made waypoints for each turn in the narratives and each facility in the service directories. Every waypoint has a comment that describes a town, an intersection, a service, or another point of interest.

Download the GPS waypoints by completing the form below.
