is it possible to save GPX tracks to SD card like on eTrex? or at least to automatically create a new one when you reach 10.000 points in track on etrex, when you fill one track, it automatically saves it to SD and creates a new one, so you dont have to worry edit: something like this: http://www.gpsfix.net/advanced-tracklogs/ The new software still retains the ability to let your current tracklog grow to 10,000 points. When this happens older tracks will be saved in archive files under /Garmin/GPX/Archive/

Hmm 24mb available or total memory ? So, in best case I can put maps to SD card and use all 24mb for tracklogs right? I really can't understand why they did't include feature to save tracklogs to SD card Oh btw, what happens with tracklog when device losts GPS signal (e.g. I enter some building) ? Is it possible to continue automatically once the signal is found again? I think the screen is exactly the same, 176x220 px with 256 colors. Thanks for the tip

Greetings and salutations This is my first post on this forum, I hope it is in the right category. I'm planning to buy my first handheld GPS device (I already have Garmin Nuvi 200 for in-car navigation), and I will use it for: photo geotagging and track logging (most important - I want to turn it on, put it on my backpack and forget about it for ~12 hours) navigation (in cities as a pedestrian, I travel a lot) geocaching (least important) After few days/weeks of reading every possible review, I have narrowed my choice to two models: Garmin eTrex Legend HCx Pros Price (~210 euros) Battery life (I read it is about 22-24 hours?) Can save tracklog to SD card Wrist strap + belt clip Looks pretty durable [*]Cons Screen and interface (it looks OK on this photo, however, it is really ugly on this one) Garmin Oregon 200 Pros Screen Touchscreen interface [*]Cons Price (~360 euros) Battery life (10-12-14 hours?) Can not save tracklog to SD card Lanyard + carabiner, no belt clip (only 3rd party) I do not need features like barometric altimeter and electronic compass, so I picked Legend over Vista and Oregon 200 over Oregon 300. Now, I have few questions: 1. Oregon can save 20 tracks with 10.000 points. Does that mean, if it logs my position every second, one track will last 10.000 seconds = less than 3 hours? 2. What will happen when I fill one track with 10k points? Will it continue automaticaly with another track? 3. Can I use map for navigation while track is logged in background (multitasking) ? 4. Can I load Garmin NT maps to eTrex? 5. This page says that eTrex comes with wrist strap but I am unable to find a photo of it. Is it a true wrist strap like for Foretrex and/or Forerunner ? For now, I'm leaning towards eTrex (because of price and battery life primarely), but interface on Oregon is so much better Any suggestion will be appreciated Thanks
