![]() Is there anything I've missed that is staring me in the face? Surely Garmin know that for the users to get the best from their GPS, Garmin should do their best to help and inform by including all the necessary info with the GPS from the moment you open the box. I have no idea why such a piss poor "Quick Start Manual" is included with the GPS, the required info is just not there and the Owners Manual I downloaded from the Garmin site isn't much better. Late, very late, last night I remembered from my previous Googling for info that one of the answers that had been given to someone else asking same question was to use EasyGPS instead of drag and drop method. ![]() I did manage to find/load? 2 onto the eTrex that I had accidentally converted to Routes in BaseCamp but they still didn't show up in Tracks.Īs Lone Watie, in "the Outlaw Josey Wales", said "Endeavor to persevere.", well I did and finally got the tracks I wanted onto the eTrex. But no, no sign of any of them using all the options available in the menus. Since it's my first ever GPS I've no idea whether the interface is different or not, sorry.Īfter I couldn't find the GPX file I uploaded to the eTrex, although it WAS on there as it showed up on BaseCamp and in the GPS external drive when connected to computer, I tried to load others, using drag and drop, from different sites, as like you, I thought that the file may be compromised somehow. I did find the same questions from others when I Googled for an answer to this but no definitive answers came up. Sorry for this long post but I'm more than a bit frustrated by this device and the almost complete lack of info from Garmin, you shouldn't need to Google info on how to use it, the user manual should cover all of this or have I missed it all somehow? Do I actually have to be at the start of Track/Route before I can do this? These DO appear on the eTrex but being routes as opposed to "Tracks" I cannot seem to be able to follow them. Downloaded BaseCamp from Garmin and it can find all the GPX files I've loaded onto eTrex and I managed to convert 2 of them into "Routes" by accident. I can see them when the eTrex is connected to computer, they are there in the "Current.gpx file". Thinking it might be a bad file not showing up I downloaded several others from different sites, all with the same result, they don't show up when using the menu to find them. First off tried "Where to?" sequence in the Menu then when that failed tried "Track Manager" sequence, that also failed to find it. When I tried to find it on the eTrex after I disconnected it from computer and letting it lock on to satellites, I couldn't find it. Using info from here, How to - navigate tracks with an eTrex 10/20/30 I loaded on a GPX file of an MTB trail I wanted to do locally. ![]() Had to Google to find out how to load the GPX files onto it as it's not in the manuals at all. The "Quick Start Manual" is useless, as is the Garmin eTrex 10/20x/30x owners manual I downloaded for it. ![]() Received a Garmin eTrex 30x as a birthday present and I'm struggling to get it to work. ![]()
