I just bought my garmin 60csx, mainly for its tracklog capabilities.
And yes i read the manual, its just kind of confusing to understand here is the quote from the supplied garmin manual, page 27
"Log Track to data card - records the current track log to the microsd in addition to the units internal memory. Using this option allows you to record a large number of track points. This feature is a tool for use by advanced GPS users with special applications for the track log data. Track logs on the data card are .gpx GPS position data files, and are not used by your unit. (Does the last sentence mean that i can save it to my card but i will not be able to read it on the gps but only in my computer mapsource program?)
When you use the track log does that go into the internal memory or to the micro sd? Is there a way to transfer everything to the micro sd card or to both card and internal memory? If i transfer it to the micro sd will my gps be capable of reading it or tracking back, or can it only be read by my computer software (meaning i need to read it off of my laptop). |

The logs in the internal memory of the CSx and the logs on the sd card are two seperate files, it's not that when the internal log reached 10.000 points it is moved or copied to the sd card.
So in case of "wrap when full" is not checked the first 10.000 points of your trip is logged an visible on the screen.
If it is checked the last 10.000 points are logged and visible on the screen.
On the sd card all points are logged, but not visible on the screen. |

When "wrap when full" is not checked the logging will stop after 10.000 points, on the sd card it continues. When you delete the track, the track recording will start again.

I think, if your not traveling for month's without access to a computer 4GB is more than enough, so I think you have to figure that out for yourself, if your firmware is not to old you can find your memorycard usage somewhere on your CSx, I think when you press <menu> in the last screen.
Can't make a screenshot from it because my pc isn't working anymore since yesterday, I'm now using a very small laptop so I can't make screenshots.
J@cob,
When 'wrap when full' NOT checked, will the system save any 10,000 points several times a day if necessary? If checked, it saves once a day?
sorry. change 'any 10,000' by 'each 10,000' ... |

The only thing is that you can't see these tracks on the screen of your CSx, it's for use on your pc at home.
P.S. if you switch off loging in the 2nd screen, the loging on the data card will allso stop.
P.S. if you uncheck the checkbox left of "wrap when full" in the 3rd srceen, the logging in the internal memory of you csx will stop, the logging on the data card will continue.
On the last screen you see a set of files, the daily tracks, the CSx will show only 50(?) files, but the limit of files depends on the space you have on the data card.
So if you have 1 GB left on your data card you can store 500 files of 2MB, but in normal use ("auto" and "more often") your files won't be this big.
Once you have checked the checkbox on the last screen, all tracks will be saved automaticaly on your data card, day after day after day.
Jaccob, thanks a lot for your help.
If I chose 'distance' and '0.02 km', is the behavior the same as 'auto' and 'most often' in saving concernings, differing only in files size?
My sd card is 4Gb. Does CSx reach that amount?
Regards

1) No, on the CSx you can save your tracklog also on the sd card, then there is no data lost, but Maak has a CS without a sd card slot, so he has to save his tracks on a pc/laptop/notebook before it gets overwritten, but with the methode of saving set on "auto" and "Often" and in normale use you only use 3000 trackpoints a day.
J@cob. How do I reach 'often'? Other. If I run 30,0000 points before transfer to Pc, are them safe on cd card? Where a good manual/book for Csx? |

1) If I understood, I need to pay attention for tracklog do not exceed 10,000 points on 60Csx, if I want preserve all stored data (date/time/speed and not filtering to 500 points). I would need to transfer to PC before that limit. Is that correct?
2) Is there any software for symbian 60 to transfer eventualy to my E71 Nokia?

Hi Maak, a little late but better late then never.:-))
You have to download the track with mapsource before the 10.000 points limit is reached, do not save a track in the gps itself if you want the date and time information.
BTW Are you sure that there is no date and time information, maybe you have to scroll to the right to see it. |

So on my 60CS, I have tracking switched to on. When I transfer the recorded track to Mapsource, the time of day information is not there. What am I doing wrong? |

Waypoints are only saved into the internal memory, maximum is 1000 waypoints, they are displayed on your screen.
The waypoint list you see on the unit shows by default the waypoints near your current location.
Your active tracklog, if set to "on" in the tracklog menu is also visible on your screen.
These two you can read also in Mapsource, oziexplorer and many other programs

hey raptor, read some of your postings and replies. By now, i think u shd be an expert in the GPS60csx. May I check if u know how to read the internal memory ? I had problem reading all my waypoints and tracks which I wrongly configure to save into internal memory. Pls advise. Thanks.quote:
