| Is there software that will convert a GPX file to a .bin raw log file that can be imported into the Garmin and show up on my 7XX for navigation? |

If I'm missing the point, please correct me, but if it's already in GPX format, why would you want to change it to bin if the end goal is a route on your GPS? If I'm on-track here then you could edit the GPX file in MapSource or BaseCamp and save it as a route to export directly to your 7xx.

My goal is to bring a track into the 7XX, I should have been more specific. GPX files can either be tracks or routes. I can bring in routes, but I am trying to use the 7xx for tracks, if possible, and these logs look like a way to do it.
Nice bike, BTW. |

| 7XX does not support tracks in that capacity. You'll want a zumo or possibly one of the street pilot devices. |

OK, now I think I get it. jsolo is correct, but there's a fairly decent workaround.
Transfer the track from your GPS to BaseCamp. Select the track and in the Edit menu drag down to Create Route From Track. Load the new route into the GPS. Import the route on your GPS into the active list.

| I am looking for a true "track" capability, any routes brought into a 7XX are subject to re-routing according to its routing algorithm. Looks like a real off road GPS is the only way to go. |

For off-road, yes definitely you will need the right tool for the job. For on-road the routes can be edited and controlled with enough "shaping points" to force the GPS to conform to where you want to go. See the link in my signature for details.

First off, many thanks to neadrenalin for making the original tracklog patch and sharing it with us.
Thanks also to TurboCCC for the RGN_Tool that I used to get neadrnalin's firmware on my nuvi 200 with hardware id 0834. After the fact I managed to get the device into the mode to use the updater.exe software but I find it much easier to just override the version with RGN_Tool and save as a GCD.
Looking at the differences between the original 5.00 software and neadrenalin's patched software I managed to figure out enough of what it was doing to modify it to move his patch code to a better location that not only gets rid of the stray color pixels in gray borders of buttons but it also helps the device boot more quickly due to reducing the display of the WARNING message from 10 seconds down to 1 about one second. Eventually I'll probably manage to get rid of the WARNING message completely. I also thought I might rearrange the hidden menu to make the tracklog menu show up first when pushing the speedometer so you don't have to hit the "next" button.
I'd welcome any knowledge as to further understanding of the inner workings of the firmware if neadrenalin or anyone else cares to share. I'd really like to add the ability to have recent city(s) to choose from instead of having to select the state and spell out the city. I'd <really> appreciate it if someone can help me better understand the procedure for calculating the offset values in ARM assembly. As it is, when I needed to relocate a branch in the firmware, I would just change part of it and then reload the file in a disassembler until I got the right address! It usually took tens of tries before I succeeded.
Finally, here is a link to my patched version of 5.00 firmware for the nuvi with hardware id 0834. I've included a version to log to internal flash as well as one to log to an SD card.

The raw logger works great on my 1490t. I have tried the procedures for the 2x5 nuvis with my 295w. No luck. Can someone help me? The next page does not come up when I do the 2a 2b 2b 2a sequence
I discovered the method on my 295. Thanks anyway
What is the method for accessing the logging screen that works for the 295w? |

295w Raw Logging
To start recording:
Setting>Press battery icon 10 seconds>Test pages>gps>gps info

Touch>Start SNR Logging.
The unit will continue to log at intervals of 1 second. Until:
1. Unit is powered down.
2. Unit is connected to PC.
3. Command to stop NMEA and SNR Logging.
The unit will record vast amounts of data if left in sleep mode.
Connect unit to PC in mass storage mode.
Go to: http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/
Get started now. Browse:
My Computer> Garmin Nuvi (J)>Garmin Folder>debug>nmea folder>
Gps_log_nmea0.txt >open
In gpsVisualizer: Choose output format: >select GPX
Click GO
Click Download
Save to Temp file.

Hi,
I have a 3790 and have 3 questions:
1) In RAW Logger mode are the coordinates stored in 2D or 3D?
2) Does the automatic trip logger store 2D or 3D points and if I place the unit in pedestrian mode, will the stored coordinates not be snapped to road locations?
3) The time interval between stored points is 1 second in RAW Logger mode; What is it for the TRIP LOG mode?
Thanks,
Mitch |

My old Nüvi 765 suddenly added 2 minutes to the boot time. I do not remember exactly when it happen, it may have been slower and slower over the time. I started to investigate what was the reason for this. I thought it was the number of maps I had on the unit and deleted nearly all maps, but no luck. There was also plenty of free spaces on the internal drive.
So by some coincident I was looking in the raw log folder (I have always raw log on), there was nearly 700M of raw log data
Deleting it and wow what a different in boot time. Just like getting a fresh new GPS :)
It may be posted in post #1 as a reminder to other that lots of log files may slow down the GPS.
Driving around in Brasil at the moment :) |

| Thanks for the tip indeed, here's another one on a related topic : the latest version of Pixel K's GPX Editor (beta section) has a very useful new feature for those trying to extract a meaningful track from the GPX archives recorded by Garmin nuvi (and maybe other) GPS systems. It's a "rolling" archive so it means there well be some "backtracking" going on when they are assembled as well as many data points being doubled up. Now a simple right click will take care of this problem. |

Zumo owners will definitely find this useful. Now, how about a Mac version [g]?
