Oregon 400T What am I doing wrong?

[+azrunner1]

I run and like to track my routes. However everytime I do the track seems to include and show the distance from my house and then my route as well. I can't get an accurate running distance with this happening. My question is : What do I need to undo, do, reset or set so as to only have a track of what I am currently on? I don't turn my gps on until I am at my run location.

The easiest thing to do is reset your trip computer right as you start your run (Setup>Reset>Trip Odometer). That way the trip odometer data fields will be accurate for you run AND it will have the effect of ending the current track segment and starting a new segment for the run. Reseting the odometer at the end of the run will terminate the track segment for your run. Changing profiles or power cycling will also end the current track segment and start a new one if you don't want to deal with the odometer.

Thanks for the input. I'll give it a try.

That has worked for me. I archive the current track. erase the track and then setup the exercise profile.

Thanks for your help. I wasn't even thinking about using the fitness mode. Usually I am caching during my trail runs and have kept my GPS set in geochache profile. I appreciate the input.
