I set my Map60 to track 'Auto' 'Fine'. Meaning it decides when to take a point based on changes in speed and direction. If you have an 'Auto' setting use it. It saves a bit of memory use and battery power. The 'Auto' function has settings of 'Fine', 'Medium' and 'Coarse' ... what you chose is up to you but I use my tracks to make maps so I like a lot of detail. If the track is used for showing where you have been on a map of the country then 'Coarse' will be ok.

I run my Map60fromthe bikes power so it never runs out. You need to do the same for your larger screen.

I haven't seen the options for "fine" "medium" or "coarse" The Track function on this can record by Distance, Time or Auto.
I can set Interval, Auto Pause, Auto Start, Output Format, Advanced settings can toggle: Auto Archive, Trip Recording, and Recorded Data Reset.
I have it to .05 miles for the track points, so that's every 80 meters.

Yeah, something is strange. I just looked at it. It was on the shelf, on, for the past 5 hours and it lost 20% battery while sitting in power saver mode unused on my counter.
Following a YouTube tutorial last year, I made two profiles, on road and off road. I just realized when I switch between these profiles, the Track automatically turns on also...I have "Auto Start" turned off on the settings for Tracks..
I am usually pretty good with technology, but this thing is another level of complicated.
