    Default Nuvi 200 track log

    Hi all-

    I bought a nuvi 200 because it was relatively cheap and can do T4A.

    Has anybody else in the 4x4 community picked up on the "hidden" track log feature on the nuvi 200?
    Mine is up and running. I think its a cool feature!
    see the following link for details:

    Regards,

    If you have the greenbacks, i think the nuvi710 can be had for a bargain if you shop around, +-R4100.
    The hidden feature can't "breadcrumb" as far as i can see. But you can log your route, it stores it on the Nuvi200 internal memory, to see it on mapsource, you run a simple routine on your pc which converts it to gpx format which mapsource reads/displays as a route.

    If you do that, don't upgrade your firmware version - that hack only applies to donkey's old firmware
