Recordings
Your device records your path as an activity. Activities contain information about points along your recorded
path, including time and location for each point.
Recording Settings
Press MENU twice to open the main menu. Select Setup > Recording.
Record Method: Sets the recording method. The Auto option records points at a variable rate to create an
optimum representation of your path. You can also record points at specific time or distance intervals.
Interval: Sets the recording rate. Recording points more frequently creates a more-detailed path, but fills the
recording log faster.
Auto Pause: Sets the device to stop recording your path when you are not moving.
Auto Start: Sets the device to start a new recording automatically when the previous recording ends.
Activity Type: Sets the default activity type for the device.
Advanced Setup: Allows you to customize additional recording settings (Advanced Recording Settings,
page 17).
Advanced Recording Settings
Press MENU twice to open the main menu. Select Setup > Recording > Advanced Setup.
Output Format: Sets the device to save the recording as a FIT or a GPX and FIT file (File Types, page 32). The
FIT option records your activity with fitness information that is tailored for the Garmin Connect
™
application
and can be used for navigation. The FIT and GPX option records your activity as both a traditional track that
can be viewed on the map and used for navigation, and as an activity with fitness information.
Auto Save: Sets an automated schedule to save your recordings. This helps organize your trips and save
memory space (Auto Save Settings, page 17).
Trip Recording: Sets a trip recording option.
Recorded Data Reset: Sets a reset option. The Activity and Trip option resets the recording and trip data when
you finish the active recording. The Prompted option prompts you to select the data to reset.
Auto Save Settings
Press MENU twice to open the main menu. Select Setup > Recording > Advanced Setup > Auto Save.
When Full: Automatically saves the current recording and starts a new one when the current recording is near
20,000 track points.
Daily: Automatically saves the previous day's recording and starts a new one when you turn on the device on a
new day.
Weekly: Automatically saves the previous week's recording and starts a new one when you turn on the device
on a new week.
Auto: Automatically saves the current recording based on its length and the number of track points taken.
Never: Never saves the current recording automatically. When the current recording nears 20,000 track points,
the device filters the active track to remove redundant points while retaining the shape and history of the
recording. Unfiltered points are saved in a temporary GPX and FIT file that is saved or discarded when the
recording stops.
NOTE: When importing FIT activities or GPX tracks with more than 20,000 track points, the device filters the
line to fit in the device memory and improve map drawing performance, while retaining the shape and history
of the recording. The FIT and GPX files retain all of their original track points.
