Etrex 30 Download tracks w/SD card installed
« on: October 24, 2015, 03:19:52 PM »
Hi Scott,
When you have a SD card installed with a Garmin/GPX directory the ability to select another director "..." box is missing . So the only way to get to your "saved tracks" is to pull the SD card or use explore. Can the "..." box be added to the menus when the SD card is in?

The Garmin saves tracks to its Garmin/GPX director it won't save to the SD card. When I'm out in the field I like the ability to upload new tracks to the garmin from my phone. If the SD card is installed when it is plugged into my Android phone I can only see the SD card, I use the SD card for my maps. So I have a Garmin/GPX folder I can upload tracks to. Then when I'm back at home I have to pull the SD card to get to any tracks recorded in the field and remember to reinstall the sd card before heading back out.

Thanks

-Gary

Hi Gary,

Thanks for the post.

I think you are right, and that the '...' button should really allow one to point the dialog at any GPX directory.  The ability to merge files and such there is a nice little feature and that would solve the SD card issue too -- just point it to whichever GPX dir you want.

Thanks
