Edit: Sorts should be Sports
Hi,
New here but, I am astonished at the forum/sub-forum structure. Ya might be missing some of your market there, 'Doc'...:p
Generally, I love the Garmin 60/70 series units as they have great capacity for data. I use GPS heavily to plan (upload 000's of Goto's) and record (waypoints, tracks) geographic data.
The new 62s however has gone backward IMO, in its ridiculous 'let's be smarter': track on, show on map; track on, don't show on map and track off track manager settings... WTF!!
Simpler sometimes is smarter and why Garmin thought to change something that wasn't broken is beyond me... Why enforce migration away from Mapsource?? And why oh, why have the download tracks settings changed in Homeport?? In the GPS60s, we could use track-on/track-off to collect a series of disconnected tracks in the track log without having to save each separate track to memory and download via Mapsource to separate discrete tracks finally into GIS. Homeport connects all these separate tracks into one humungous track (which I can still successfully download using DNRGarmin BTW...). Splitting these up takes me hours of needless work.
I don't have the time to Stop track/ save current track log to new filename/clear track log/start new track/turn tracks on (show on map) whilst collecting data.
Why can't I display the current track log without the track on?? CRAZY!!
Please tell me this amazing lapse in intelligence isn't permanent - perhaps revamped firmware to sort these glaring issues. :rolleyes:
