Once you are synced, login into your Delorme portal and click on the Map tab. All inReach activity on your account is stored here, routes, waypoints, tracks etc…. You may have a busy map, we will need to use the map filters to get down to our latest track. Here we adjusted the date and message type. If you have a filter you want to keep for future reference, you can add bookmarks.
After the GPX file has downloaded to your computer, you can now use your application of choice and import the GPX file where you can now access the track and waypoints.
This morning task before the real weekend job is to log a hiking trail for the edition of the NS hiking trail guide ebook! Exploring Nova Scotia with a constellation of satellites to guide me along the way. You should turn off all the trails and waypoints as well. Another thing you can do is to zoom out and see if any other routes or waypoints are visible, prior to exporting the collection. Importing the Garmin route is easier but there are still a few things you need to pay attention to.
This next area is where you will want to verify what is being imported. I knew that I should only have one route and 4 waypoints but you can see below that there are 5 waypoints. One extra waypoint is okay to me because that is easy to find and delete but if you had 7 routes and hundreds of waypoints then you would want to close the box and start again.
You can see in the next slide that the route and waypoints came in correctly but the route color is red and the waypoint icons are blue flags, but these are all easy to correct. Once this import is competed you will need to sync your Earthmate app to ensure the Garmin is updated with this data. I would like to hear your thoughts on the Garmin inReach features. Please leave a Comment Below or send me an Email. Step 1: Create a Collection — I always name this the trail name.
Make sure you share your MapShare page and sync to you Garmin device. This trail is rated as easy, so I have chosen green for the route color. I always select the hiker icon for each trailhead. I will be adding two restaurants and a kayak rental location to this collection.
Sounds like Garmin removed the ability to import large files. I know this is the internet but still Hey Tv, as you research the millions of ways to wander in the wild, you may find that some riders prefer tracks to routes there seems to be a split camp of thought with this topic, all good.
I always use tracks because I do not like to follow the arrow. The arrow has let me down quite a few times. On occasion, if you end up off route, the unit seems to start creating a route of its own to fix your off route boo-boo or additional wander.
It feels too restrictive to me I don't enjoy having the unit tell me where I must go - haha. I simply keep my unit "north" oriented and that keeps me "on-track" even when I see a cool overlook and decide to leave the track to take a look. Also, as a clarifier, might be bad news, but there are quite a few riders who use multi-devices for different needs. I never plan to use my InReach Delorme for navigation the screen and algorithms are funky.
It is only used for emergency, texting when not in cell phone zones, and to let others back in the city see where I am every 10 minutes while wandering around in the wilderness. My delorme rides deep in my backpack and doesn't get to see the light of day. That is very different than my handlebar mounted Garmin GPSMAP 78, which guides my predetermined destinations and used for backtrack when I need to find my way back to camp.
I solo ride a bunch and have never had to split tracks. I just took a look at my tracks in Garmin basecamp and many of them seem to have way more points than While riding Crawdaddy's palooza routes before, I laughed out loud a couple times when following tracks from Crawdaddy when I had to turn around times on a small jeep road, and then had to stop and zoom-in the screen to about 20 ft wide to find the 10 inch wide single track that I couldn't see with my eyes in order to follow the path, It allows me to maintain a better sense of where I actually am in regard to valleys, mountains and distant paved roads.
By the way, I looked at a bunch of tracks on my unit from Crawdaddy's rides and I did notice that they all seem to be just under Darn, I didn't know that, and I do not know the difference between the BDR downloads, and track installs, sorry. As a possible bizarre perception from watching my riding buddies lead on occasion Those who might point in any random direction when asked about north, seem to prefer routes, but I am sure millions of folks might contradict this possibly skewed non-data-driven perception - smiles.
Good luck with this topic, as there seems to be infinitely many perceptions and procedures to get it right for each person's individual riding style, and I may have just thrown another wrench into the already confusing post. Thanks for that info. I never need to be rerouted. If I get off the blue line I just ride back to it.
I never need the line to change. The difference seems pretty clear from the Garmin site below. I would like to use this as an all-in-one because then it is hardwired to the battery for GPS, it is attached to my handlebars in clear satellite view to send minute tracking to my wife, and I can use my iphone for simple messaging when I stop. I suppose I could just buy one and if it won't give me a thin blue line to follow How do you know whether you should use a Route or a Track?
Not sure about tracks on explorer, sorry. My lean away from that is due to the following: 1 I hardwired my GPSMAP 78 because you can leave the backlight on and it has significantly more easy user-friendly interface with tracks on the handlebars when riding. Also, I was pleased to discover how well the signal of the Delorme seemed to go through a drybag, and the material of my hydration system, and maybe around firstaid kits, etc The bottom line may be that I need both reading glasses and distance glasses Reading a lot of Amazon reviews critical of the GPS capabilities and gpx import limits of the Inreach.
Apparently, the inreach acts differently than other Garmin devices because Inreach was developed Delorme originally. So, there is no all-in-one option? I may as well go with a Garmin mini or a bivystick, which requires me to carry
