<html><body style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Yeah--I completed the 730 mile Grand Enchantment Trail last spring using it--no real trail there, but a route. I know how to use it--I just wondered if the number of tracks was prohibitive for the unit.<br />Thanks.<br />--Mary "Fireweed" <br /><br /><br /><blockquote><br />----- Original Message -----<br /><div style="width:100%;background:rgb(228,228,228);"><div style="font-weight:bold;">From:</div> "Tjamrog08" <tjamrog@me.com></div><br /><div style="font-weight:bold;">To:</div>"Mary Kwart" <mkwart@gci.net><br /><div style="font-weight:bold;">Cc:</div><cdt-l@backcountry.net><br /><div style="font-weight:bold;">Sent:</div>Sun, 19 Jan 2014 22:11:51 -0500<br /><div style="font-weight:bold;">Subject:</div>Re: [Cdt-l] POIs vs Waypoints<br /><br /><br />I used the eTrex 30 on the CDT last season The device held the tracks ( still does) to the whole Trail , plus alternate routes as POI's. Worked for me. I suggest spending as much time as you can walking around with the unit now, setting waypoints, then trying to navigate to some of them in your locality. There is a lot to the device that is not intuitive, and the last place you need to spend aggravating time learning the ins and outs in while you are actually moving along while backpacking. <div>Uncle Tom </div><div><br /><div><div>On Jan 19, 2014, at 10:05 PM, Mary Kwart wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" /><blockquote><div style="font-family:'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:12px;">I am also using a Garmin Etrex 30 with a waypoint limit of 2000 waypoints and am hiking the NM CDT this Spring. So, there are more than 2000 waypoints for the NM section,including the alternates?I had to use POIs on the Arizona Trail, when I had a smaller capacity GPS.<br /><br />I guess I am used to the PCT style Halfmile waypoints and tracks. It is nice to have waypoints, but it is even better to have tracks that connect waypoints. Is it possible to download tracks of the NM CDT trail? <br /><br />--Mary "Fireweed"<br /><br /><br /></div>
