Track recording issues [Bug 20]
Posted: Fri May 14, 2021 5:05 pm
Hello,
I like to warn you about frustrating track recording issues with GPSMAP 65s.
1. Auto-archive is set by day, but the recorded track is archived every 3000 track points. Which results in many files per day.
2. eTrex Legend HCx could "record track to chip" and it recorded a single file on the SD card for each day. In GPSMAP 65s it records to "Current.gpx" (and 3000 point segments auto-archived, see former point). When manually archiving, the filename will be different from auto-archived. I like to have a single gpx per day. At least I don't like to have different naming convention for files of the same day. Is this possible with GPSMAP 65s?
3. It archives 100+MB gpx waste files. Yes, waste!
4. Active recording is randomly not shown on map / display starts like new recording. Most reproducible by switching pages / opening settings menu pages.
5. Active recording / track is randomly not shown in different zoom levels.
6. (Auto-)Archived recorded tracks disappear from map and cannot be shown. (first need to search complicated, set them as favorite and set them to display on map.)
6.1 when searching for the disappeared track, the list order is not useful at all.
Issue with track files is very annoying for archiving tracks.
Issue with disappeared tracks is VERY annoying when out in uncharted area.
Firmware 3.7 (3.5 same issues)
Have fun
