[OSM-newbies] New Garmin questions

[Christoph Eckert]

Hi Martin,

> Do I want WAAS on or off?

if you have good luck, enabling it leads to better precision.

> I think the wiki said to set the track to time
> interval. Why not distance?

If set to distance, you'll get less trackpoints at high speeds. 1/sec 
usually gives you the most trackpoints the device is capable of 
generating.

> If I set the track to store to the microSD card
> then should I have wrap when full or or off?

It depends, but in most cases you want to have the most recent 
trackpoints.

> When it wraps does it wrap the data on the SD card also?

No. The SD will always contain all trackpoints collected. The option 
only affects the internal memory.

> Which way is the best way to set the altimeter?
> Can I find a highway sign with the altitude and set it by hand?

Sorry, I have no experience here.

HTH & best regards,
