765T Tracks

 

I can't seem to find any info on this, but is the 765T able to accept tracks in addition to way-point routes?

Thanks

765T Tracks

Tracks for the 765T are where you have been. Routes on the 765T are where you are going. On the 765 you can show everwhere you have been if you have them enabled for view but otherwise there is nothing you can do with the information directly on the unit.

You can view the tracks in MapSource.
You can convert your tracks to routes by using third party programs. However I find that cleaning up the results far more time consuming then just creating a route from scratch.

Further explanation

I guess what I meant was creating a map in(let's say TYRE) and then transferring that map to the 765T just the way it's shown. If you just transfer the route with the way-points, then the Garmin will figure out it it's own way, not necessarily the way you want to or the way it's shown.

Not in manual

Maybe this will help:

Yea I looked in the manual and couldn't find any info on it.

So I guess it may not be possible.
