+Blindmantoo Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 Is it possible to view the breadcrumb trail that you are creating while you are creating it. I know you can save it and then view it on the screen, but I'd like to view it as I am hiking. Quote
MtnHermit Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 I see my tracklog as I hike, so the answer is yes. You can also change the color displayed. But it's been so long, I don't remember what settings are required. Quote
+DENelson83 Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 Go to the map page, then hit [Menu] and select "Setup Map". At the top, highlight the "string" icon, which is the second icon from the left, and then set your track log to "AUTO". Also, you want to make sure your track log is on, by going to the main menu and selecting "tracks". Quote
+Chuy! Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 Hymm, if you are recording tracks, you should be able to view them on the map. There is not on/off switch that I know of. There is an on/off switch to view saved tracks. There are actually two switches. In the Saved Track properties for each track is a check box to view the track. And, in the Setup Map properties, there are zoom settings so you can adjust at what zoom level you want the track displayed. But, these apply only to saved tracks, or, maybe I just never noticed this last function applied to tracks being recorded? Take a look at your settings; mine are set up to display tracks zoomed out to 8 miles and below. Quote

I recently purchased this Gps myself and you can change the color of the track to one more visible (the default is small black dashes) under Main menu- tracks- setup. It will change the color of your bread crumbs, not just saved tracks. Quote
