Chrome Sushi Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 I currently have an eTrex Vista HCx. I use it for a number of things, including geotagging pictures with Robogeo. The HCx archives my tracklogs by date and retains the timestamps, so this makes geotagging easy. I'm thinking of grabbing a Dakota 20 (there's a sale on near me) - Does it record and archive tracks in the same way? I seem to recall some Garmins deleting the time info from tracks and I want to make sure the Dakota won't do that on me. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
+g-o-cashers Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 The Dakota does not strip any information out of tracks including the timestamp. It also doesn't do any tracklog compression like some of the older models do. It works much like the Oregon which is documented here: http://garminoregon.wikispaces.com/Tracks Works fine for geotagging photos (I use ExpertGPS, but other software will work as well). -Scott Quote Link to comment
