+Mole60 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Hi, I have a Colorado 300. I live in Canada and am now travelling in Singapore. I cleared all track data, reset trip data, before doing a new track in Singapore. But when I tried to archive it, the Begin point of the track starts at my last point in Canada. How can I clear that Begin point so that it starts off in Singapore? Can anyone help? Quote Link to comment

+Walts Hunting Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 What most likely happened is you didn't set it out long enough to find your new location. When moving great distances it can take as long as 30 minutes sitting out on the balcony to figure it out. I would be willing to bet that the next track will be fine. Quote Link to comment
+EScout Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Drop your track's GPX file into the program: G7ToWin and you will see a spreadsheet of all your track points. Delete the ones you do not want and save all in a new file. At this time, you can also combine all the segments or send them to separate files. Quote Link to comment
+Mole60 Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) thanks to all for the helpful replies. I will study them and see what I should be doing. Another question I need answered -- I use a MacBook and would like to find a good mapping software to use for seeing my tracks on the computer. any suggestions?

WrongwayUK Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) I use Garmins own Basecamp on my Mac. It displays tracks from the GPSr very well. Edited December 8, 2011 by WrongwayUK Quote Link to comment

+Red90 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 All you will ever want to know is here Actually that page is wrong. Partial track archiving has always been broken on Colorados. You need to edit the track off of the GPS and save it back to the unit. Quote Link to comment

That tell s me that I cannot do any editing on the GPS unit and I HAVE to wait till I download the track, then delete what points I don't want. Quote Link to comment
Now at Zero Gravity Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 All you will ever want to know is here Actually that page is wrong. Partial track archiving has always been broken on Colorados. You need to edit the track off of the GPS and save it back to the unit. The 62S has the same limitation, as far as I can tell. If I turn the GPS on right now, and want to walk this trail in front of me, and then save it when I get to the end, there ain't no way to save a partial track on the unit. Maybe someday, sometime, when I get back to the computer I can tediously find the start point and end point, if I can remember, and waste an hour reconstructing something that should have been there originally... What a pain! What a loss of functionality! Quote Link to comment
+Red90 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Really? I thought they fixed the track archiving features in the Oregons a long time ago, but after they had stopped supporting the Colorados. Strange that it would not work on a 62. Quote Link to comment
