Guest Rubbertoe Posted September 30, 2001 Share Posted September 30, 2001 http://www.garmin.com/products/etrex/download.html "prevents excessive number of trackpoints from being recorded" What exactly does this mean? Does anyone have any experience with filling up your eTrex track data? Does it just overwrite from the beginning of the file, or does it freeze up or what? Just wondering what this bugfix would do, and if it's something I really need to do. Quote Link to comment

You can set the tracklog to stop after it's memory has been filled or you can set it to begin rewriting at the beginning if you choose so. The options are in the Track Log menu on the corresponding page (at least for the Etrex Venture, i can't speak for other units). ------------------ -Iron Chef _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ agefive.com/geocache/ ~ Fe-26 Lets Drive Fast and Eat Cheese!

Guest Reservoir Dog Posted September 30, 2001 Share Posted September 30, 2001 My impression is when it reaches the maximum number of points possible it prevents the deletion of the earlier ones??? ------------------ Terry (Reservoir Dog) Quote Link to comment

You can turn that off with some units so that once it fills up keeps going and overwrites data. But you'll have to tinker to see if your unit wants to play. ------------------ -Iron Chef _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ agefive.com/geocache/ ~ Fe-26 Lets Drive Fast and Eat Cheese!
