Guest LoCache Posted August 20, 2001 Share Posted August 20, 2001 I was wondering if there is a way to grab the track data from the Garmin Etrex, and display it on a map of some sort...sort of an overlay so you can see where you went on the map. This has probably been covered before, but thanks for the help! Geo http://www.geopolitan.net/geotrex Quote Link to comment
Guest HomeChicken Posted August 20, 2001 Share Posted August 20, 2001 you can do this with the mapsource CD. you just download the tracks to your computer and the map will show you where the tracks were left. below is a image of a hike to some lakes I took with my Legend in Sequoia Nation Park in the California High Sierras N36 36.283 W118 43.771 ------------------ Bought a eTrex Legend on 7/24/01 placed one cache Here --Chicken Quote Link to comment
Guest arffer Posted August 20, 2001 Share Posted August 20, 2001 You can also do it with Topografix's ExpertGPS. www.expertgps.com Quote Link to comment
Guest bwware Posted August 21, 2001 Share Posted August 21, 2001 Can this be done with a GPS315? Quote Link to comment
Guest topografix Posted August 21, 2001 Share Posted August 21, 2001 ExpertGPS supports the Magellan 315, as well as any other Magellan, Garmin, or Lowrance GPS. http://www.expertgps.com ------------------ Dan Foster TopoGrafix: GPS Software, Waypoints, and Maps http://www.topografix.com Quote Link to comment
Guest HomeChicken Posted August 21, 2001 Share Posted August 21, 2001 Yeah Expert is a nice program I was using it before I bought the mapsource CD just for the detailed maps to upload to my Garmin. The ExpertGPS program will let you trail it for two weeks, full program is $60. Very nice program with maps. I almost bought it but now I have the $150 mapsource CD which is not as good! ------------------ Bought a eTrex Legend on 7/24/01 I was part of or placed these Caches Sun rising over Mt.Rubidoux Urban Jungle Rising sun over Chicken Coop Quote Link to comment
Guest arffer Posted August 21, 2001 Share Posted August 21, 2001 I did buy ExpertGPS after trialing it (using it with a Magellan 315). I really like the package. From the waypoint list, right clicking on any waypoint allows you to access a webpage at topografix with links to that waypoint's terraserver photo, tigermap, topozone pam, and others. If the way point was downloaded from geocaching.com, then "View online" takes you to the cache page. Any waypoint(s), route(s), and track(s) can be overlayed on both terraserver photos and topozone maps. After a hunt, we download our track to ExpertGPS, overlay it on both the photo and map, print them out and keep them in a folder of our hunts. To Topografix: I'm still hoping for the addition of the current datum setting on the waypoint list printout that I asked for a month or so ago. Not knowing what datum was in use when a waypoint list was printed makes the list useless once you forget what you had it set to (which for me is circa 10 minutes). Thanks!

Guest Uplink Posted August 24, 2001 Share Posted August 24, 2001 OziExplorer does a goog job with tracks (you have to supply your own maps though). This track is from last Saturday, when I took my boat to the Seahawk game at Husky Stadium in Seattle.
