<div> <font size="2"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">When I hiked, I just downloaded the topo maps and a few "points" where there was water. It worked well enough. Trust me, you will rarely be right on those tracks. I was told I'd be lost daily. I was sure the person did not know of "my" superior maps reading, gps skills. Boy was I wrong and I was lost about daily. The gps works beautifully as an extra tool to Jonathans maps as well as the blm maps, a compass and whatever you can get your hands on. Yogi's book is a great resource as to which topo maps you need. I spent a lot of time "refinding " the trail - it's an amazing hike. Good luck.</font></font><br>

Subject: [Cdt-l] Anyone familiar with Garmin eTrex VISTA HCx?<br>

<div id="AOLMsgPart_0_52e65a6a-857a-4b9d-9d78-1f1f4981eefe" style="margin: 0px; font-family: Tahoma,Verdana,Arial,Sans-Serif; font-size: 12px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
<pre style="font-size: 9pt;"><tt>I have some questions around loading tracks on the Vista HCx. I now <br>
understand that you can only load 500 point tracks at a time.<br>
<br>
Now I find the track log is "full" after loading NM and some of CO. <br>
There are about 20 tracks of around 500 points loaded on at this time.<br>
<br>
How can I get the rest of the CDT states tracks on the Vista or is <br>
this not possible.<br>
<br>
I am guess that there is a workaround e.g. preparing a CD with each <br>
state then deleting the used tracks and loading the new state tracks <br>
as you need them<br>
<br>
Comments? Am I making this a too complicated project or does the <br>
Garmin Colorado do it better then the eTrex ?<br>
