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: Enables you to open additional recording
settings (Advanced Recording Settings, page 11).
Advanced Recording Settings
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 23). 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 11).
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
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.
