That's the way it works on the Vista - waypoints are stored in the unit's internal memory only and not duplicated to the SD card. There is some limit, other than available free space.
It's the number of files in SD card's root directory. I learned that the hard way. I got enough files after about one year of usage not even daily. The unit could not create a file, nor was I able to create file when the card was attached to my PC.
Resolution: Create a directory where you every now and then move older files. I know this quote is from a very old posting but It seems that I am facing the same thing here today in the UK I have after two days at the p. C, then renaming it to the one that is specified something like gmapsupp. C as drive F and transferring all the files across from one to the other, which took about 27 minuets in all.
C and switched off the GPS then switch on the GPS unit again just to see if the maps had gone on there by going to menu map set-up information the fifth icon along on the map set-up page I think I read that if you have done it right and then the file you have just sent across will show up here on this page?
First I left all of the tiles ticked and the programme refused to open any saying not enough space in the mapedit. All I would like now is to be able to overlay it with the NCR and local cycle route numbers!
Anybody got any thoughts on this Please? Many thanks Antnee. Go to www. ExpertGPS gives you access to every topo map in the USA , as well as high-resolution aerial photos , so you can zoom in on any trail or job site. We've collected dozens of tips and tricks designed to save you time and money when mapping with your Garmin eTrex Vista HCx. Download a fully-featured trial of ExpertGPS, or buy your copy today. Upload waypoints, routes, and tracks to your GPS and print a matching map out to take with you into the field.
Once you reach that limit, your GPS can't hold any more data. They can then download as much data as possible onto their GPS leaving some room for GPS data collection out in the field. When they get back, they use ExpertGPS to upload all of their Garmin waypoints, routes, and tracks onto their computer and save it. Once they've backed up the new data from their GPS, they can clear the memory again, keeping their GPS ready for their next trip.
These are actual scale topographic maps from the US Geological Survey, giving you much more terrain detail than the maps that came with your Garmin.
This ability to toggle back-and-forth between several views of your GPS data is unique to ExpertGPS, and is one of its most popular features. ExpertGPS comes preloaded with all the line patterns and cartographic styles you need to draw highways, railroad tracks, transmission lines, streams, and more. And the waypoint and track style editors let you create your own map symbols, change track colors, and customize exactly how your GPS and map data is drawn.
ExpertGPS can do it 5x faster! Your GPS limits the length of waypoint names to 14, but ExpertGPS will let you give your waypoints user-friendly names and descriptions that can be as long as you want. ExpertGPS allows you to calculate acreage in three different ways : 1. Calculate area by walking a perimeter with your GPS. Calculate area by marking GPS waypoints at the corners of a field or parcel.
In ExpertGPS, connect those waypoints into a route, and the acreage is automatically calculated. Calculate area by tracing over a map or aerial photo. ExpertGPS lets you get the most out of the waypoints on your Garmin eTrex Vista HCx by making it easy to assign the best symbol and to give each waypoint a long, meaningful name using a real keyboard, not the little controls on your GPS. Think about it:. Waypoint comments notes can contain up to 30 characters. As can be seen, even at "Most often" automatic mode is not satisfactory.
It is thus suggested to choose between "0. If logging is set to one second, clean up the excess and trash points before uploading the traces.
After such an operation it is still suggested to manually clean out "blobs" of points if having stayed in one location especially indoors for some period of time. To retrieve the files, either insert the microSD card in a card reader, or connect the device to a computer via USB cable and set it to the USB mass storage mode.
Length is limited to 10 data points. In reality this is not so short - 10 data points is about km of cycling with "most often" sampling, but see above for trace recording options. With 1 second sampling built-in memory fills up fairly quickly. To transfer trace from the built-in memory, gpsbabel can be used. Connect the device with a USB cable and issue:. Note that this only downloads current log, not the saved ones. Maps can be created with mkgmap and uploaded to the SD card.
Note that map name --mapname option should not exceed 8 characters, otherwise the map will be silently ignored. Vista HCx supports lowercase letters in horizontal text city names etc , but not for rotated symbols rendered street names. There is a OpenSeaMap-vector chart, covering whole Europe. It has colour display, supports loadable maps and runs on 2 AA elements. If connected with a mini-b USB cable to a power source, can run on that power and does not draw power from batteries.
It is not capable of charging batteries source. I own a legendC so I can relate to the OP issue with no more firmware updates for discontinued models.
I also own a 60cx so for me I would hope they spend no time on discontinued models, but rather spend more time on the current gps receivers. Case in point. This afternoon Garmin posted v. For some reason the daylight savings time issue is not addressed. Thanks for the information and the link.
I down loaded the new file and updated my Vista C. Hopefully they really did made a correction for Daylight Savings Time they did in the 2. Guess I'll find out next March.
