Anyways, here is the answer from garmin support site Question: What is Track Log and what Automotive GPS units have Track Log capabilities? Answer: A Track Log provides an electronic 'bread crumb' trail of points, so you can see where you've been on the map. Following is a list of the Automotive GPS units that have the Track Log capabilities. nuvi(R) 750, nuvi 760, nuvi 770, nuvi 780, nuvi 850, nuvi 860, nuvi 880, nuvi 5000, nuvi 900T, StreetPilot(R) 2720, StreetPilot 2730, StreetPilot 2820, StreetPilot 7200, StreetPilot 7500, Quest(R), Quest 2, zūmo(R) _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
