Help
I've searched the forums and it appears there isn't any way to use your iPad to load GPX's onto your GPSr.
I ran across this article on CNET.com that describes a new USB adapter. Would this allow you to send a file to your GPSr?

Using an iPad to load GPX on your GPSr Is it possible with this?

No. To quote the article you cited (second from last paragrapb):
I have been able to load pocket queries from my iPhone to my Garmin, but not with Apple's CCK. Instead, I plugged the Garmin into the USB port on my router and used FileBrowser from Stratospherix. It works but it's kinda clunky and hard to figure out. Also, this is only an option for when I'm at home - not out in the field for a "spur of the moment" update.
I might still want to go this route if I adopt an iPad as my main or only computer. But unless there's an easier file transfer program available, for now it's much easier just to connect the GPS into my "real" computer

After some testing, it's clear you cannot read or write nonphoto files to an external hard drive or thumbdrive.
