Hello Angie,

The Forerunner 201 uses a "cradle" the 205 does not. Shannon
did not remember which one she had so I mentioned it. 

I upgraded because the free account would only show me the last 10 rides
I uploaded. Is the free account still that way? You have uploaded 25
tracks. Can you access all of them?

You are right about viewing in GE. You can zoom in and find all kinds of
possible trails.
