Whenever I finish a trip on my boat I save my track. I then transfer the track to an SD card and load it onto my computer. Then using Mapsource I can view the track. When I view track properties it shows me "Points, Length, Area, but Elapsed Time and Average Speed are blank. What am I doing wrong. Shouldn't it show Time and Speed ?

Thanks, Richie

I've not used this model but on other Garmin's when you save a track it is compressed to reduce size and some of the data is stripped out. Try not saving the track on the GPS but instead transferring the complete track to your PC.

I contacted Garmin support and here is their response >> It will not show this information on mapsource. However it should show this information on our Homeport software. <<
What is Homeport software ?
