Tracklog Recording GPSMap 60CX / Venture CX

[satnavman]

Hi there wondered if any help out there.

I have recently purchased a GPSMap 60CX and yesterday I ran a comparism alongside my Venture CX. All settings for recording tracks on both units are set exactly the same but after a 5.5 hour 32km walk my Venture CX showed 4% Tracks Used and downloaded 674 Trackpoints and my 60CX showed 8% Used and downloaded over 2000 trackpoints.

The User Guide is a bit vague on tracklogs and how it deals with them........

Any ideas please ..........

The intervals at which the tracklogs are recorded can be cutomized from the... tracks menu and I think the.. map setup-tracks ..are you sure you have them set the same on both units ? I once had mine set up to record every meter to measure some land and then drove with it in the car ,When i got home and viewed the tracks in Mapsource it had only recorded the last part of the road trip as it had filled the tracklog and had kept overwriting the previous ones...that what you get if you select "Wrap when full" in the tracks setup

Hi there!

Thanks for the reply.

Yes both uits are set to record exactly the same!

Weird.......

I have spoke to Garmin and they seem to think its something to do with the memory in the 60CX being able to drop more breadcrumbs track markings than the venture CX.

I will have a play with the settings and see............

Thanks again for the reply.
