You can also activate the tracklog feature as describet here: http://www.gpspassion.com/upload2/HiddenTrackLogHowTo.pdf This is even more precise as it records one point per second. > If buying a hand-held GPS (like the eTrex or GPS60) make sure it has > external storage for loading large maps, and that it supports automatic > routing (my eTrex does not support routing but the eTrex Vista HCx does, > so be careful).
