Explanation of how to import the GPS data into you'r machine is given here. This page has a map of the entire Eryri area and may replace this index in the near future. NOTE!! The Digital mapping files are just as guidance, a means of showing the route on the map and are NOT GPS Logs unless STATED AS SUCH. You should always rely on your own planning whatever the source of the walk data, as errors are a statistical definite (remember the Ben Nevis and Trail fiasco? For those who don't, they published a shortcut off the summit of Ben Nevis, directly over a nearby gully.) And don't get me started on the accuracy of their Snowdonia Place names!! GRR! Although, I must admit, that recently their spellings have been OK, and i have spotted more errors in TGO.
