I've never done a two day ride but it seems that around 10 hours for the half day is a reasonably comfortable pace. 7am to 5pm?

So you fellas with ya new MAP60 GPSs got them set to record tracks to the Data card if you want to record your full adventures without running out of space or quota on the internal memory?

'Menu' - 'Tracks' - 'Setup' - 'Data Card Setup' - make sure there's a tick in the box by 'Log tracks To data Card'

Now even if you fill or overflow your internal memory quota you will still get all your tracks on the Data Card for grabbing later on the PC via the 'mass storage mode'.

done - think Kenny is up the Clarence this weekend - will be a test for his skills when you ask him for the Clarence track when he gets back - would still be a bit past me at this stage I reckon

I,m back.....could not figure out how to use it so its up for sale....

[Transalper]

You must be joking.
Takes a little playing with and experimenting to get the hang of.
Don't think it would have been to much use for navigation up the Clarance as there's not many track options there and you would have been just exploring but you can now see where you went.

Get in touch and I'll get you the next step, maybe create a couple of navigation exercises for homework.

My experience (Etrex Legend HCx) suggest that you need to turn on the overwrite option even when writing to a card else your track log just stops.

Bloody late notice and I apologise for this, but we all need to be carrying fire extinguishers. There are two areas where we pass through forest blocks. The fire extinguishers you want are 450gm aerosol ABC type. The red one in the pic below (Fire Exit) and the First Alert Tundra are available for $20-$25 from Mitre 10, Mega, Placemakers, Bunnings and Briscoes stores.

The GPS file is now uploaded onto my website. My website allows people to upload directly to their GPS units if they are attached to a USB port. Those with GPSMAP62 or GPSMAP78 will need to download the file to their computer and then upload using Basecamp or Mapsource. This is due to my webpages and Garmin Communicator not working together very well. With others help I hope to resolve this shortly.

Cheers R

The garmin communicator plugin is known to be a bit glitchy, some days working, some days giving a 'plugin not unlocked successfully' error so if you get that just right click and 'save as' the file and load it through mapsource or whatever you are using then also.
(Worked ok for me this morning)

Really looking forward to it now.
