On the contrary - Garmin does save just one big .gpx file per day, no matter<br>
how many times it loses signal or is switched off and on again. The one that<br>
saves lots and lots of files (and sometimes gets the filesystem corrupt in<br>
the process) is the NaviGPS.<br>
<br>
Just remind that most models with a SD or microSD slot only accept cards no<br>
bigger than 2GB. That means "no SD-HC cards".<br>

Probably not so much of an issue for his scenario, but it's something I had to change to optimize the storage on my cards, since I maximize the maps I put on and leave minimal space for tracklogs. In that case, the large allocation units for FAT16 on a 2 GB card wasted a lot of my available space.<br>
