Saving Oregon Tracks to Memory Card?

[Didjerrydo]

Is it possible to save track logs to the Oregon's memory card rather than its internal memory? By the way, I wonder just how much internal memory is "left over" and still available in a unit like the 400t anyway? Looks like Garmin would have provided a screen somewhere where a user could see the amounts of used and available memory anyway!

You can tell how much free memory remains by hooking it up to your PC. Windows Explorer will display the Oregon's files like a virtual drive where you can look at the properties of that partition to see its total capacity, how much is used, and how much remains free.

 

It is highly recommended that before you get too cozy moving files around you make a total complete backup of everything. Do the backup after you have everything registered and working properly but before you add or do any geocaching or routing or the like. Burn it to a CD or DVD. One day you may love yourself for taking the time now before you tinker.

No, tracks are stored internally. The active track is in a hidden file and archived tracks (manually or automatic are saved in GPX files). Realistically, there is a huge amount of room for track data, so it is really not something to worry about. Each 10000 point archive file is around 1 to 2 MB.
