Re: [OSM-talk] Garmin nuvi track recording
Lock on road only affects map display. Also, I made this video if anybody's not sure how to set this up on a Nüvi. I don't own one anymore and haven't been keeping up on the automotive line lately mostly because Osmand fits my use case better now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBUDTBPO76E On Mon, Dec 29, 2014 at 10:53 AM, Volker Schmidt vosc...@gmail.com wrote: I tried to find, unsuccessfully, information about track recording with GARMIN nuvi models.

I have a nuvi 205, which may of course be completely different. In Settings Navigation there's a Route Preference that can be set to Off Road, which might make a difference? On my unit there is a hidden track log feature that provides a better track than the standard Trip Log. I followed the instructions at www.gpspassion.com/upload2/HiddenTrackLogHowTo.pdf to use this. -- Steve --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. http://www.avast.com ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Does lock on road definitely cause the _recorded track_ to match the road (as opposed to the current displayed position used for navigation calculations)? On my old Nuvi 265W it certainly seems that recorded tracks aren't coincident with the road, even when it's displaying a position exactly on the road that it thinks that it is supposed to be on.
