Upload waypoints, routes, and tracks to your GPS and print a matching map out to take with you into the field. Once you reach that limit, your GPS can't hold any more data. They can then download as much data as possible onto their GPS leaving some room for GPS data collection out in the field. When they get back, they use ExpertGPS to upload all of their Garmin waypoints, routes, and tracks onto their computer and save it.
Once they've backed up the new data from their GPS, they can clear the memory again, keeping their GPS ready for their next trip. These are actual scale topographic maps from the US Geological Survey, giving you much more terrain detail than the maps that came with your Garmin. This ability to toggle back-and-forth between several views of your GPS data is unique to ExpertGPS, and is one of its most popular features.
ExpertGPS comes preloaded with all the line patterns and cartographic styles you need to draw highways, railroad tracks, transmission lines, streams, and more. And the waypoint and track style editors let you create your own map symbols, change track colors, and customize exactly how your GPS and map data is drawn. ExpertGPS can do it 5x faster! Your GPS limits the length of waypoint names to 14, but ExpertGPS will let you give your waypoints user-friendly names and descriptions that can be as long as you want.
ExpertGPS allows you to calculate acreage in three different ways : 1. Calculate area by walking a perimeter with your GPS. Calculate area by marking GPS waypoints at the corners of a field or parcel. In ExpertGPS, connect those waypoints into a route, and the acreage is automatically calculated.
Calculate area by tracing over a map or aerial photo. ExpertGPS lets you get the most out of the waypoints on your Garmin eTrex Legend HCx by making it easy to assign the best symbol and to give each waypoint a long, meaningful name using a real keyboard, not the little controls on your GPS. Think about it:. Waypoint comments notes can contain up to 30 characters. How long would it take you to enter all of those waypoints by hand into your GPS?
Hand held GPS receiver with large display and serial interface. The GARMIN eTrex is very easy to use, supports multiple languages and has an extremely sensitive antenna, which provides navigation information outdoors, in a car, in a train or even in an airplane see MapSource examples. The built-in serial interface supports. This manual is organized into three sections. The Introduction section provides FCC, safety, war-ranty, maintenance and product registration information.
To get started, download your free copy of EasyGPS. EasyGPS calculates the area of any Garmin GPS track or route, making it a perfect tool for calculating acreage on your farm, ranch, or business. Geotag your photos so everyone can see exactly where you took them. EasyGPS automatically geotags photos from any digital camera, allowing you to map them on flickr.
Convert any coordinate format and datum. This gives them the maximum data storage for recording waypoints and tracklogs on their next adventure.
Quote from: Bianchi Boy on 15 October, , pm. Yes I have the same gps, had it about a month. Follow road and follow track does the same thing. As Frankie says it may be the setting, mines on prompted also. I will report later. OK I got following the track to work tonight. This gave pop-ups when there was a change in direction and nothing to do with road names.
I can live with this. I would prefer road navigation and would like to know if this is possible with tracks. I am off to do a DIY tomorrow so will now be downloading my tracks. Wish me luck - first major ride with Garmin. I am pleased with the follow track option, but confused on a number of issues.
Following tracks I get a next turn beep warning. This appears to be to do with the angle of the turn and came up more on winding roads than junctions. Is this correct? I put a number of waypoints on the track. These offer good visual indication, but no beep to say I was passing.
There are proximity alarms, but these require you to press Enter and are just annoying. Is there a way that you can jet the unit to beep near a waypoint without having to press enter. Can you get a beep when go off course?
When I follow tracks there is no connection to roads. So all the navigation text says 'SW to turn ' and the like. Not 'Turn left Albany Rd'. Richard says he gets this, but I only get this when I select follow road and a route is calculated. Is there a setting to make your track give route type instructions, but not calculate it's own way? I've pretty much given up on follow road.
The map has too many false one-way streets and blocked junctions to be of any use Google Maps also has problems in this respect. It keeps putting in U-turns after waypoints when you know there is a legitimate route.
