Welcome Leon,
Which data have you downloaded?
In GPX or GPI format?

Thank you Frans and Jan

I uploaded the files RHD.gpi and RHD_TTS>gpi.

I looked at the tracks, it is saved as a .GPX. I looked for a GPX file to download but do not see it?

I have the Topo map on the unit that it came out with, but it does not have the option to do an address search? I can enter co-ordinates and upload waypoints and it will direct me there but it does not have the option to enter an address for navigation?

Let me quickly try and explain. The 3 gpi options are files pre-setup to upload directly to the PND (gps) using Garmin communicator. Unfortunately Garmin stopped developing Garmin Communicator so it is not compatible with MS Edge. But is still work with IE and one of the older versions of Firefox. You need to have Garmin Communicator installed on your PC for this to work. But having said that if you successfully uploaded the gpi files to the Montana it should also work on the 276
The gpx files are contained in the 4th option where you can download the data and voice file to compile and setup to your own preference. .
