General Discussion / accuracy of trip odometer
June 22, 2010, 07:39:52 AM
Probably an obvious answer but...  I have a dakota 20 and hike around in the hill/mountains, etc. It works great for location, and mapping etc. However i notice that most of the time when i finish a hike the trip odometer for distance is usually a lot less than the actual route/track distance that i recorded. Is this due to elevation changes or periodically losing signal?

thx

hi all
wanted to geotag some photos to put into lightroom
followed basecamp help menu
1. camera and computer time zone set
2. created track in field and took picts. Downloaded photos and saved track to basecamp/computer
3. selected track in basecamp library, then went to Edit-->geotag photo
4. selected folder of jpg images
5. hit preview and message came back that said "no images suitable for geotag" or something like that. (same applied to raw photos as well)

did i miss something? apologize if this was in forum and i missed it.

hi all
loaded calif topo into base camp. No problem. Then using card reader installed map onto 2 gb lexar mobile microSD card. Everything loaded just fine onto card(took 20min or so), got the succesfully loaded message.

then took card and placed it into dakota and started up unit. Went to setup, then maps then map info select map. Did that and the only map that showed up was the base map which was of course already enabled.  NO sign of the calif topo map in the menu, which is working just fine on basecamp and loaded successfully on card. 

So are there only certain types of micro SD cards that work with dakota or am i doing something wrong.?

thx!
