There are several reasons why the tripometer and total track distances might not agree but I'm confused as to why the track properties is only to one tenth of a mile when my eTrex 20 consistently has an accuray of less than 30 feet. The distance between trackpoints of a recorded track is usually less than 30 as well. I currently have the distance set to 0.01 miles, which is around 52 feet or so. My latest run for example was 8.1 miles according to the recorded track. I didn't add up the total feet between every track point in the recorded log but somehow it just seems the distance should have been something like 8.06 or 8.15 miles. What am I doing wrong? Any help on this would be appreciated... thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion. Restarting Base Camp didn't help. But I solved the problem this morning. Already had MyTrails installed from yesterday, the 32-bit map that is supposed to be installed first before you try to install 64-bit maps. So I UNinstalled the California Topo 2011 map, then restarted Base Camp and voila! There it was. And my compliments to the author. Very nice topo and pretty much all the streets too. My donation to this site is on the way. Thanks,

What a great site. Had no idea there was such a thing as Base Camp. Installed it and the California Topo map but it does not see it in the maps dropdown. Loaded the My Trails map because I am running Windows 7 but still no go. The California topo map by default went to the programs folder under Catopo11 so I know it was installed but how do I get Base Camp to recoginize it?
