Question: How does the nüvi 5xx and 7x5 trip log work?
Answer:
Trip logs are points automatically stored when the GPS is moving. It is the electronic equivalent of laying down a "breadcrumb trail" to mark the path that has been traveled.
You can manage the most current 10,000 points on the nüvi device itself, beyond 10,000 points the nüvi moves the oldest trip data into an internal archive file. Up to 20 archive files can be stored internally on the unit. This means, depending on space available, that the nüvi can store over 200,000 points of trip data.
Note: Archived trip log information is not visible on the nüvi device itself, but can be used and seen with the MapSource® product such as City Navigator North America NT.
