OFF-TRACK alert

Former Member

Hello,

I often walk in the mountains with walking sticks, so both hands unavailable to continuously hold my GPS (Dakota 20).

It sometimes happen that the track I am following makes a turn and I am not aware of that, and i just walk straight on....Yes, that's stupid!

It would be very nice to have an "OFF-TRACK ALERT" that warns you when you deviate for instance 50 or 100 meters from the track (or any other user-define value).

I think it should be pretty easy to add such an alert with the software? I actually wonder why it is not already available...

BTW, since I use tracks in the middle of nowhere, I cannot use routable maps in combination with a route...

Would you like to have such an alert as well? Please let me know what you think!

Cheers,
Dennis
