Recording a track

About routes and tracks

The term "route" includes two types of path from one place to another:

• Routes have a beginning and an end and optionally some stops in between. Your device calculates your preferred type of path between all these points, for example, the fastest or most economical. You can edit a route by, for example, adding stops or moving the starting point. Routes can be imported but cannot currently be exported from your device.

  

• Tracks also have a beginning and an end but no stops. Your device however has a fixed map-dependent path between these points and your device sticks to this fixed path as much as possible. You can only edit tracks using tools such as Tyre Pro or Garmin Basecamp. Tracks can be imported and exported from your device.

  

  Tip: Tracks have a dotted arrow!

Recording a track

You can record a track while riding your bike, with or without a route planned beforehand. After recording, you can then export your track so that you can share it with friends or view it on Tyre Pro.

To record a track, do the following:

1. In the Main Menu, select Start Recording.

   A red dot appears in the lower right-hand corner of the screen and initially flashes 3 times to show that you are now recording. The dot remains on the screen until you stop recording.

2. To stop recording, select Stop Recording in the Main Menu.
3. Enter a name for your track or you can leave it at the suggest date-time combination.
4. Select Save.
5. Your track is saved in My Routes.

   Note: You can export tracks as GPX files and save them on a memory card for sharing with other bikers.
