The current.gpx in the nuvi 13xx series is not good for road tracing.
You need to download the "hidden" logs when you activate the
diagnostic logging using wnutrak.

You can also upgrade your firmware with the latest version where you
have the option to use gpx via the diagnostic logging.  This is found
somewhere in  the ".System" directory (take note of the ".")
