This seems to be model dependant.  Just because it shows on the road
while you're navigating doesn't necessarily mean that it's actually
collecting that as a datapoint.  Double check to make sure before
uploading data from it for the first time.  The 205 is fine for data
collection, but you do need a windows binary-only freebie (not free, but
no charge) to convert the log data to a GPX.
