Re: [St] Where did I go today?

David,
   Some of the Garmin units allow you to save a track log to your PC. 
Some have a large track log (2820 & zumo) and some don't (2610).  I have 
a 2820 and use a utility to convert the log for viewing on Google maps 
(see http://www.pangloss.com/maps/LakeJacomo072906.html).  I just did a 
1500 mile ride from Chicago up the east side of Lake Michigan to Sault 
Ste Marie, down the east side of Lake Huron and back to Chicago.  The 
log had 9100 points, which is within the 10k points the 2820 can hold 
and way past the 1k points that my old 2610 can hold.  So, it depends on 
the type of trips you normally make as to whether the GPS logs can do 
what you want.
