Just so!

Track log interval is set (from the main menu - press 'find' twice) by
picking tracks, then set-up, then 'auto' & 'most often'.
You'll want to use 'clear' every few days as well.

SUB is set, from the same point, as 'setup' then 'interface' then 'USB
mass storage' - if you do this with USB connected you'll see the PC find
the device & probably open a window with your Etrex as a USB-stick!

When done, be sure to unmount it properly (either sync & umount, or from
the file menu) - I'm assuming you're not using Windows! This is less
important if you copy from it but essential if writing TO it.
