Re: [RC] Garmin Forerunner & VV Rides - rides2far@xxxxxxxxThe Forerunner 201 uses a "cradle" the 205 does not. Shannon did not remember which one she had so I mentioned it. Ah! It looks like mine is a Garmin etrex Legend CX. Figures that I don't have what everyone else got. :-P 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? No, just the last 10. Also at one time I got to try some trial version and it showed on my track where we had stood in one spot for a while, and where we'd made better time. I'd like to have that on there so Jody would quit thinking my average is slower than hers just because I actually warm my horse up for 15 minutes (unlike her!) You are right about viewing in GE. You can zoom in and find all kinds of possible trails. I actually found another interesting source for trail info. that you can use with the Google Earth. My husband brought home a Civil War book and it showed the old supply routes that came over the mountains. When you look at the book and then Google Earth you can sometimes see the road beds are still there. I guess it helps to live in Chattanooga if you plan to use that sort of stuff though. >g< So...anybody look at my tracks and think these things are accurate within a foot or two? If so, I've got a horse that can jump Lookout Creek (a good 30 feet wide with 15' banks) without breaking gait. Look at that track...it's got me on both sides of the creek (snakey band of trees). Also, the route I'm doing behind my house is a 12" wide trail. I should be on the exact same track every time around. Instead it looks like I'm running through half the trees in the woods. Every time you see a perfectly straight line you can bet that thing took a shortcut! The track where it did that along the creek had no excuse. I'm out in the open..but there is a big ridge on one side and a mountain about 1/4 mile away on the other.
