Bro simedarby, I also have 100% hit rate. There is no secret.

Suggest you re-calibrate your screen. If you have a screen protector, then press a little harder as the sensitivity is reduced.

I set my Trip Log to Enable, it does keep a log of my track (dont need to bother with hidden track log function), then when I transfer data to my mapsource I only see the track log in mapsource but not in my H:/Garmin/Logs folder. Where is the log stored to in my device? :-?

However If I use the hidden track log function, I see the track in both mapsource and H:/Garmin/Logs folder....why ah?
