- Hello all, I have some tracks to put together on the same gps file, so I can see all of them on the same screen.
- How do I assign a different color on each track to distinguish them on my 60csx screen?
Thanks for your help.

In Mapsource, just right click the track you want to rename and select properties. The name will be highlighted at the top, just change it to Active Log. A word of warning, this will wipe out your current active log on your GPS and the uploaded track will slowly be overwritten with your latest wanderings. You are better off to do as Hiker2008 suggested and reduce the size of the track to 500 points in Mapsource and then load it as a saved track (right click the track, select properties and use the options available under the "Filter" button). You can also just cut your track into multiple pieces with the track editing tool if you don't want to generalize the track with a filter. (ie. a 1500 point track = three 500 pt tracks).
- thanks, I'll apply your suggestions for my next biking rides.

...rename the track to ACTIVE LOG before uploading to device -- there is a 10,000 point point limit in the active log
- how can I rename the track to Active Log? thanks.

I just loaded the track (converted from route v2) in my 60csx. Then I get a message in the gps mentioned the track is "TRUNCATED": I just only see a HALF of my entire route. Why does it happen? How can I fix it? thanks.
- note: on Mapsource, it showns entirely my track (route), just only on gps, the track is cutted a half portion.
- Up. Somebody have any idea why the track is truncated when downloading to 60scx? thx.

I forgot on my previous posting to say that after I got my readings at the airport benchmark, I quickly drove home which is about 3 blocks away, took a reading of the elevation in my driveway and then I set the altimeter to my driveway reading before I go cachng.
- why do you need to approach closely to your nearby airport while you're 3 blocks away? Stay at home and take the barometer pressure value as per the weather report of this airport in the internet: the result is not the same?
- I live about 8 miles straight line from airport. I always take the pressure value from the weather report of this airport in the internet to calibrate my 60csx.

The latest version of gdb is v3. Wingdb is compatible with v1 and v2. Load the route in Mapsourve and Save As... .gdb v2; then use that file in wingdb
- Bingo! By default, my Mapsource saves my routes under v3 version. I just do exactly what Hiker2008 suggests to do and the conversion is done perfectly. Thanks again!
-
How do I know what gdb format version I have? And do we know a tool to convert between them, i.e from v1 to v2 or vice versa?
-
Hello, could you kindly tell me how to convert routes to tracks with WinGDB program, please. I put the path of my .gdb route file in the input window. When I click on "convert" button, I obtain an error message telling me it's not a right .gdb file. But it should be a good .gdb file because I can use it in my 60csx
- what file I should fill in the Input and Output window?
thanks for your help.

As you do this you will probably want to rename the tracks to reflect the particular hike, and maybe combine multiple tracks for each hike into one and assign each a unique color.
- how do you assign a color to each track? thanks.
-
I have some tracks converted from my route's files. How can I navigate using these tracks on 60CSX? thanks.
-
Turn your route into a track. You will have a path to follow in any one of several colours. There will be no autorouting at all. As a bonus you can turn several routes into tracks and all tracks will show on the GPSr screen at once instead of just one route.
- good idea. How can I do it, turning my route into track? Thanks.
-
I forgot to mention that is Garmin 60csx. Thanks all of you. I'll try these settings. Because I've many topo's maps in background, so they slow-slow down my autorouting turn-by-turn-function. I`ll use only zoom-in function enough to see my next turns in lieu of turn pop-up menu screen.
-
Hello, can I navigate on my pre-programmed route without using the autorouting function? I just want to see the "colored route" only. Another words, I do not need the turn-by-turn pop-up screen. If yes, how can I set for it? thanks for your help.
-
Thanks for your trick, Prime Suspect. I do not know how to put a default map, in lieu of detailed map . But I'll try. and feeback the result later here.

Hello, did you have a same issue that following: my 60CSX take toooo long time to go back to the map page when it shows the turn page. If I have a next turn right after the precedent turn, I'll miss it because I do not see it on the map page. the gps stays too long on the turn page. That happens on my new 2nd gps. In the past, on my old one, the turn page disappears right after the turn done and return back to the main map page showing my route.
- Do I miss some settings on my unit? Or someting wrong on my unit? thanks for your help.

- C stands for Color (more color than black&white
)- S for Sensor (electronic compass+altimeter)
- X for expandable memory (with memory card)
-
1 - Go to Track Log page - click Set up - click Data card set up - click Delete All.
2- Or put the card on the pc and delete data as usual removable device.

For my education...what means these acronyms: "PA=14 NPA=0 NM=16 DNU=0" ? thanks.
-
...The information contained is about 25 years old, so some of the road information is incorrect. Most highways are labelled, but most smaller roads are labelled as "Road"...
- Do you know if Garmin Canada's Topo is older than US Topo?
-
Moto Q smartphone is there gps-ready for this service?
-
As Miragee said, I simply press "Print Screen" button and paste it to my photo/image editor. Save it as jpeg, bitmap, tiff etc...as you want.
-
Thanks for your answers. How do I know a maximum of tiles that I can load to my SD card? It depends the weight (KB) of each tile?
-
Hello all. Do you know if the 2GB card can contain Canada Topo AND CNv.8 (at least East Coast from New England's states to Key West, FL) ? If yes, can I switch between them depending when I need auto-routing or topo's terrain. Can I load them in, saying, 2 different layers. And I'll use show/hide maps function for switching. thanks.

Different color for different tracks?
in GPS technology and devices

- yes, I dot it. But when I copy/paste the second track into the first one, the second track does not keep its own color, it takes the color of the first one.
