Re: Dowloading tracks from XT to PC with Explore enabled

One can do all of that with Qmapshack too. Basecamp may be just as good, but the deciding factor for me is that Qmapshack runs on any platform, including Linux. Basecamp doesn't run on linux.

Re: Dowloading tracks from XT to PC with Explore enabled

I can confirm what the604jj said, tracks downloaded with expore enable do not include elevation. Big Fail. Also I was having trouble just getting my tracks to show up on the explore website. I figured that out w/ Garmin's help. I needed to select the center icon, then the +icon, then have it enabled ...

Re: Dowloading tracks from XT to PC with Explore enabled

The data is in the Active Log. I've managed to connect the tracks from that day into 1 track & it's all there. Explore shouldn't need a DEM to transfer the elevation when it's in the data already. Due to the significant slopes in my area DEM data is not as good as GPS data, so even if I had to ...

Re: Dowloading tracks from XT to PC with Explore enabled

Pass. I'll take a look at this. It will take a little while to synchronise and process. It will have many points. One thing sounds suspicious. You say you added it to a collection - Export - presumably you did this on the XT ? I assume that you had previously created 'Export' as a collection on the ...

Dowloading tracks from XT to PC with Explore enabled

I don't use basecamp. I've been using the file manager to transfer gpx files between the XT and PC. I thought I'd try Explore again since the Collections feature seems handy. I did a ride, tracked it, saved the track to a Collection. On the explore website it shows the track in the list, I've put it ...

Re: Can you change the colour of an active track?

Yes, I saw those posts on advrider. Changing the kmtf file changes the travel history track as you described, but it doesn't change the track that is shown when you start recording a track. That shows up as orange/red

Re: Can you change the colour of an active track?

I had the same question, & reposted it since I didn't find yours when I searched for 'color' :lol: I just got off a chat w Garmin, & he said "The color of the live track that is currently recording can not be changed. Only saved tracks." Poor software. I could do this with my old Montana, and cheap ...

Change Current Track Color

How do I change the color of the current track (ie the track started with the track recorder)?? I've read the threads on the style file, & changing the color for MAP_TRK_CLR. This changes the history track (the one that shows when you select 'Travel History' under 'Map Layers' ), & it changes the ...
