sounds like @jlippinbike and I use our devices differently. I just download the free GPX track (.gpx) from rwgps with "Include POI as waypoints?" and "Include cues as waypoints?" both checked and copy the file to my SD card. I never look at the cues at all. I just follow the pink line on the map.

While it would be nice to disable the highpoint/lowpoint, I'm pretty sure it's impossible. I have learned to just ignore the "distance to next" indicator.

Update:

Ride 103 miles today, route largely new to me, and I rode it entirely relying on the “pink line,” didn’t use my cue sheets that I had as a backup. I consider it a huge success. Very happy with my eTrex 20x, Thank you all!

I haven’t tried the waypoints from on RWGPS, but will do that.
