garmin Etrek Legend Color?

[drillsar]

Is it possible to use the etrek legend color as a tracking device in real time? If not what is my solutions? Thanks

[drillsar]

what I want to do is leave it in my car and track it.

I dont believe so. Tracking needs a sending device, as far as I know these handhelds do not transmit.

 

There are services that can do this, i have also seen some then rent the transmitter for 10 days or more if you just need it for a short time.

 

Now you can leave it in the car, leaving it on, then download the track after it returns home.

Ok how do I download the track? Do i use mapsource?

Yes. After I come back from a "caching adventure," that is the first thing I do. I download my Tracks and the Waypoints to Mapsource. That way I can retrace my day and log any caches I found in the correct order. I can also create a Profile of any hikes I took.

If you want to track an object you can use the Garmin Astro :-)
