RE: Florida Funnel activity

It doesn't matter a hoot what the folder is called when unpacking as the unpacker looks for the trk file not the folder. However it is imperative the folder matches the name in the trk file when packaging an activity.

Folder MUST be named US3

To unpack an activity to the Florida Funnel route, you must first change the name of the folder in your Routes directory to US3 (not USA3). I uploaded this route, and it was my mistake to try to change the folder name. It keeps activities from unpacking properly.

I have other .apks for this route that open without any changes to anything. I've said this a million times - this is such a quirky game!Mike
