F-KLS Feedback v2

[norwadi]

Bro 2uk3y,

My recent 2 feedbacks do not involved change in alignment/location nor naming , but rather the turn directions allowed (routing logic) at each of the junctions, so do i still need to upload the gdb file? As far as i know, the logic has to be program by mapper and gdb wont help in this case, other than finding the location much quicker. A search in map will probably takes about the same time. Kinda cumbersome to transfer from device if it is not necessary .

Perhaps moderator can clarify. Thanks.

I think, finding the location using gdb file is quicker and preciser.
BTW, what did you mean by 'Kinda cumbersome to transfer from device if it is not necessary' ?

My bad. I dont have the habit of clearing triplog in my nuvi, as u know nuvi rewrote after 10k points, to search one particular track takes a little bit of time. Plus, i dont have the nuvi always with me, so if gdb is not necessary, i m lazy to look for it . I remember that particular 2 feedbacks when MFM pointed me into one way street (against the flow ) and didnt prompt the turn at the LDP-J.KualaSelangor junction.

I wrote it days later after the encounters though, and since the errors didn't have anything to do with the track alignment but routing logic, i though i would just forgo the gdb files. Plus the two locations were well known areas in KLS, so should be pretty easy to find .

Bro ChewBakar,

Bro norwadi has his point and using mapsource to pin-point the error is necessary. I normally do not highlight it when I know the area quite well. Even though I know it I still have to search for it.

By placing a waypoint in mapsource will definately ease my work and thanks for letting us know there is an error there.

Regards

Maybe there is a misunderstanding here. You don't need your nuvi to make gdb file, just a MapSource enough.

The Nuvi 205 Trip Log starts a new log every time you switch the unit on. Unless you have it switched on all the time and have been tracking with it non-stop for more than a day, you are unlikely to reach the 10,000 point limit.

When I drove from Singapore to Penang, the total number of track points saved was only about 2,800. As I stopped several times at R&R stops as well as lunch break, the 2,800 points were chopped up into several files because I switched off the unit and took it out of the car every time I stopped.

You can find the trip logs (which can be opened in MapSource) in the Current.gpx file in the \Garmin\GPX folder of your GPS. The trip log files are named ACTIVE LOG: dd mm yyyy aa:bb where aa:bb is the time of starting of each log. If there are several trip logs recorded for the same date, they will show the same date but different starting times.

Even if you have only 50MB free space in your internal memory, it will take months to fill even if you switch on every day. A 1,000 point log is only 25KB in size when converted to a gdb file. A Current.gpx file with trip logs of total points of around 10,000 and including waypoints is only about 950KB. Be happy that you will probably never lose any of your trip logs.

The U-turn.

That's exactly what i meant, to search thru the active log and look for the track that i traveled . Nuvi kept all the tracks, & rewrote only after 10k. Say if i dont flush the memory, gotta dig thru all the tracks to find one particular track then. That's one thing about this nuvi feature that kept everything in the memory and not "user selectable recording" .

Good for spying though if one has the patience to shift thru all the tracks to see where the user has gone to, but like other bros have said, this works both ways , your "headmaster" can catch u if u r not be careful , be warned
