Does anyone use it? I know some of you are anti-GPS Track and share Lol

but some of us use them. This website allows your tracks to be visible to everyone. I just wish I could figure out a way to enter way points. Track and share Confused

This is my first attempt so I don't know if you can even see this or how good it is.

The link doesn't work for me, I know on Google Earth you can upload your tracks and waypoints for anyone to view. (don't know how LOL) but I have seen it done and its great.

We aren't anti-gps, just don't use them. I actually just got another one and used it on my last ride. I want to map out some trails so I am trying to figure it out. Track and share 376722

Dang it, I was afraid no one could see it but me.
I know you're not anti-GPS, just giving you Track and share 911262

I'll try Google Earth again. These programs are hardly user friendly.

Well, I got it on Google Earth, turned out to be pretty easy and looks really good.
Unfortunately, I don't have a clue on how to share it. Track and share 706639

Well, it is e-mailable. I sent it over to my wife's computer.
You need to have Google Earth installed for it to work though. The link to install Google Earth comes with the e-mail.

Dude, thats so sweet!!!

Am I seeing that correctly when there are multiple lines side by side and that is indication a separate trail for each line?

No, that's just riding the same trail many times. The tracks aren't always perfect, you can see the trail in places and it will be off a bit but usually it's pretty good.

Subject: Re: Track and share December 2nd 2009, 12:25 am

Thats still awesome lol...

Mason, here are the tracks from our ride a couple of weeks ago. The green trail is the way we went to Mullins, the blue is the way we came back.

Cool. My whole point of this thread was to share tracks.

Daryl, would you be willing to email that ride?

Great, thanks, send everything.

Nice track, but how can I see it on my Google Earth?

I would have to email you the file, this board doesn't support attachments so I can't just add it here.

Subject: Re: Track and share December 2nd 2009, 7:27 pm

FWIW, Google Earth wouldn't open .gdb files. I had to open it in my Mapsource then send it to my GPS then send it to G/E.
No biggie, I wanted it on my Mapsource also.

I've got a Lowrance XOG and a Expedition Hand held. Neither will track all day...

Subject: Re: Track and share December 2nd 2009, 8:30 pm

I was looking at the HDS-5 Baja Off-Road GPS unit from them. I like the idea of the larger screen but from what I hear one can not use data on Lowrance units from other manufactures units.
