This guy took all of the ACA GPS waypoint data and made them into 21 .kmz (Google Earth) files
I zipped them all up into with some directions for offline use:

If anyone is curious this also works on iOS.
Managed to download it with Puffin Browser to dropbox, unzip with iZip pro- from there the kmz files will open in Google Earth.

Thanks

Is there any way it can be opened through cellphone apps?

Like East just said, you can open it in Google Earth.

With a laptop, you could convert the kmz to a gpx file and import it into a GPS navigation app.

Just checked... MAPS.ME opens these files just fine on android. Says I need to enable location services to calculate route though.

Either way you got a general outline of a bike route.
Neat. I'm pretty sure I grabbed these files before but just now tried em out.

Thanks Matt

Nice to know where all the bike tourists are. I chart my own course though. No route from Minneapolis to Houston for example.
