Colrado has color track abilties

[+Styk]

Asked a question regarding software upgrade to provide this functionality and got this response.

 

 

KnowledgeBase:

garmin

 

Subject:

all tracks are black

 

Message Body:

 

It doesn't appear that i can change the color of my tracks., I can with my Legend Hcx and my GPSMAP 60 Cx but not on my Colorado. I have been waiting for a software update for over a year to address this shortcoming. I understand this feature has been available to Oregon owners since shortly after it's release.

 

 

 

Thank you for contacting Garmin International. You can change the color of your active log here: Main Menu > Tracks > Setup > Color. Also, you can change the color of any saved track and have it show on the map:

Main Menu > Tracks > Enter on saved track > Color/Show On Map. I hope this helps.

 

With Best Regards,

He doesn't explicitly say that he's referring to the Colorado. Are you sure that he didn't provide those instructions for the Oregon?

 

For as long as I've been using the CO, I've been able to use any color for the track log, so long as it's black . Hey, black is a color.

You can change track colors in the Oregon but not the Colorado.

Given that tech support is referencing "Main Menu" I would say he is confused between the OR and CO. The CO does not support different colors for saved tracks.

See, even Garmin tech support forgets they make the Colorado! Little wonder no updates have been coming!!

Actually black is just the absence of light.

Hey! I just got an Oregon 400 and if there's a way to change the track color, I haven't found it and I've looked.

Or a full-throttle mixture of cyan, magenta, and yellow

The feature has been around since day one on the Oregon, it is in Track Manager > [select a track] > Set Color > [select color] > Show on Map. You cannot change the color of the Oregon track log -- just the saved tracks.

That doesn't surprise me. They also say it's water resistant

My mistake. I forgot that the OR has always had it. Sorry about that.
