"Where did ya come from, where did ya go?"

• Review the Tracks (*.gpx) stored on your Montana 7x0.
• Recorded Tracks can also be imported and viewed in BaseCamp or your favorite GPX file viewer.

 

 

Track Types

• The Montana 7x0 groups tracks into three categories: Current, Favorite, and Archived.
  
  
  • Current Track
    
    
    • Accumulates track points only when Recording Controls or inReach Tracking are active.
    • Contains all recorded track segments since last time the tracklog was cleared.
    • Will auto-archive older track points when track memory is full (as configured).
    • Can be saved as a complete or partial track.
    • Saved in [GPSr]\Garmin\GPX\Current\ directory.
      

  • Favorite Track

    • A saved track that is not currently archived.
    • Can be configured to 'Show On Map'.
    • Tracks set to 'Show On Map' are listed with a track color indicator preceding the track name.
    • Can be copied and saved in reverse direction.
    • Favorite tracks may be transferred between the GPSr and BaseCamp.
    • Favorite tracks can also be shared wirelessly between compatible Garmin GPSr.
  • No saved track may exceed 20,000 track points.
  • Saved only in [GPSr]\Garmin\GPX\ directory.
  • Can also be stored in [microSD]\Garmin\GPX\ directory.
    

  • Archived Track

    • A saved track that is not currently set to 'Favorite' status.
    • Can not be configured to 'Show On Map'.
    • Archived tracks can not be displayed on the map page, navigated, or shared.
    • Archived tracks can be imported into BaseCamp.
    • Saved only in [GPSr]\Garmin\GPX\Archive\ directory

 

 

Track Limits

• The Montana 7x0 can index 250 individual tracks, each up to 20,000 points in length.
• Tracks over 20,000 points are filtered on device to maximize rendering efficiency without modifying the original *.gpx files.
• The Montana 7x0 will auto-archive the current track log and begin a new recording (as configured) when approaching the 20,000 track point limit.

 

 

Track Management

• Tip: Disabled by default (why, Garmin?), GPX tracklog recording must first be enabled in [Setup > Recording > Advanced Setup > Output Format].
• Recorded Tracklogs are saved in the [GPSR]\Garmin\GPX\ and [GPSR]\Garmin\GPX\Archive\ directories. 
• Tracklog recording can be synchronized with Stopwatch activity if desired.
• Activities completed from the Stopwatch page while 'Activity Sync' is enabled can be identified by a 'Stopwatch' suffix in the file name.
• Tracks saved in the [GPSr]\Garmin\GPX\Archive\ directory do not count against the 250 saved tracks allowed on the device.
• When archiving a tracklog stored on a microSD card, the *.gpx file is moved to the [GPSr]\Garmin\GPX\Archive\ directory.
• Restoring favorite status to an archived tracklog returns the *.gpx file to the [GPSr]\Garmin\GPX\ directory, never the microSD card.
