error in downloading total milage

I just completed a great bike ride and purchased TF.  My FR201 shows 98+ miles but when I downloaded the ride into TF it shows only 66 miles and 250 points?  I have scanned the other topics but could not find a definate answer or downloading protocol to help with this error.  Why why why?

I can assure you that the problem is not on TopoFusion's side.  The fact that you only have 250 points means you must have reset the watch (start/stop), which saved the track into the 'history' portion of the memory (otherwise known as 'saved tracks').

Now, since your ride was 98 miles I'm guessing it went over the time limit that the FR 201 is capable of recording.  Unfortunately this is simply a limitation of the unit.  However, I believe that later versions of the firmware have made positive changes to this limitation.  Check your firmware version, or post / read up at the 'GarminF' yahoo group -- that is the best resource for info on the forerunner

Good luck and sorry you lost some of your ride.
