BelleauWood Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 A while back I had a Sportrak Map and Mapsend Topo. If I took a trip or a drive during the day I was able to upload the track to my PC at night. I was able to see the track and the speed I was traveling at the time. I believe different colors on the track represented different speeds along the trip. My question is can I do this with my current setup? I have a 60c and city select v6. Quote Link to comment
+kingquad Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 I dont think you can as far as I know.....I know I cant with my 60C and Mapsource Metroguide Canada V4 Quote Link to comment
OuttaHand Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Actually -- you can. In mapsource, (I have version 4.09) there is a tab on the left that reads "Tracks". Under that you'll see all the track logs that you've uploaded from your GPSr. If you single-click one of those logs it will show up highlighted on the map. If you right-click one of those tracks, you'll get a menu. Click "Properties" and you'll get the properties of that log. It's broken down into legs. It will show you the length of each leg as well as the average speed for that leg. Quote Link to comment

Any saved tracks will lose speed information. But 10,000 track points in the active log allows for a LOT of tracking! See images below: Edited October 18, 2005 by Neo_Geo Quote Link to comment
+Redwoods Mtn Biker Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 I believe different colors on the track represented different speeds along the trip. TopoFusion does this. BTW everyone, I know I post quite a bit about TopoFusion, but I want to assure you that I have no financial relationship with them. I just happen to think it's really good software. Writing a book reviewing lots of different programs, I've had a chance to compare them. And like someone else here said the other day--no program does it all. TopoFusion does a lot of things very well though.
