![]() The Tracks page isn't used for riding at all! How could I have been so stupid for so long? All I had to do was page over to 'Map' when I was near the course and there everything was plain as day. Suddenly, riding the tracks was as simple as it can get! I didn't even have to zoom in much because the arrow would clearly leave the breadcrumb trail when I missed a turn. and b) the standard 'Map' page had the proper 'track-up' orientation. I kept fiddling with it and fortunately, discovered that a) the entire track was laying right there on my standard 'Map' page. ![]() Not only because I had to do a mental backflip to figure a right or left turn, but because at 800' you out ride the map page pretty fast!īy the end of the second day I realized that I was making this ride too hard and dangerous, for fear of running off the road trying to read that screen. That made following the tracks hard and slow. I started out riding with the GPS in that mode at Union Pass Road and it worked, but the map would not 'track-up'. At the time I thought that this mode was what I would be following during the actual ride. With the GPS off, I zoomed in on the track selected for study and made sure the underlying roads were named. That freed up memory space so I could highlight each track and study the section in the comfort of my condo with the GPS satellite search turned off. In fact, it wouldn't even scroll past Track 7, so I eliminated everything but the tracks and gas stops I wanted for my ride. However, I found I couldn't highight and check each track because I think there was too much data for the storage capacity of my 60. I wanted to highlight each one and study it to insure I had everything. There is a lot of stuff there so you have to scroll down to find the Tracks. Cannonshot's tracks are numbered 'Track 1', 'Track 2' etc. After transferring Cannoshot's tracks to your 60, you should see his data on the 'Tracks' page (keyed from the primary menu). The transfer process will prompt you to have the appropriate maps loaded so you know you got them.Ģ. ![]() It should be automatic during the data transfer, but I had to do it twice to get the maps. Make sure your laptop loads up the appropriate maps that coincide with the tracks you transferred. It was fantastic, with no missed turns at all!įor those of you new using tracks with the 60 series Garmin, here are a few clues:ġ.
