Remarks

• Details of each route are linked to the map so that you can have a better idea of the location of the routes.
• The downloadable GPX files on the Taiwan Bike Single Portal cannot be imported to Garmin directly. We fixed them with GPSvisualiser and import them to connect.Garmin.com. You can use the links we provided to get the routes.
• We shorten the name of the routes so that it can be displayed better on the small screen of the Garmin or other GPS devices. For example, Cycling Route No. 1-15 is shorten to CR1-15.
• The website connect.Garmin.com and the App Connet by Garmin has Reverse Direction function in the route edit mode. If you need to travel in the opposite direction, you can reverse the direction of the course before loading it to your device.
• If you don’t use a Garmin but would like to follow the routes, you can use Velodash on your smartphone for navigation. The direction reversal function is not available for an imported route. But it is not necessary as the Velodash does not provide turn by turn navigation hitherto. Just follow the line on the map when you are cycling. 
• The GPX routes and the routes shown on the maps are not exactly the same. In some cases, the staring point, ending point and some supply stops of a route on the map may deviate from the GPX route for 50 metres or more. Please fine tune the routes to suit your itinerary.
• We also have a day-to-day plan with our suggestions and alternative routes for doing the around-the-island in 9 days along Cycling Route No. 1.
