I have a nuvi 5000 and I want to make more use of the track log file.
When I download the gpx file into Mapsource I notice that all the tracks are dated months ago even though I use the unit regularly. When I look at the gpx files in the Garmin/GPX directory the Current and TEmp files are both dated in April 2009 even though I use the unit regularly. I have even deleted the trip log data from Tools?my Data but this has no effect on the date.
What is going on and how can I get an accurate date and time for recent tracks that are saved?

Is this related to the fact the Nüvi 5000 has no internal battery?

The tracks and such like are kept in some internal location and only written to Current.gpx when the unit boots (presumably only when it boots in mass-storage mode, ie when connected to your PC).

The current date & time might be lost, (and thus default to April?), when the unit's power is removed. If you examine the tracks themselves, are the individual points properly time-stamped?

I have checked each track segment and individual points within each segment are timestamped with the same date as the segment.
The current gpx file is dated 24/04/09 whilst the latest track segment is dated 15/04/09. Having looked at the latest segment I would say however that it is the last drive I recorded the other day i.e 18/10/09
All very confusing!
