Activating Hidden 1-second Tracklog Function In Nuvi 2xx

[zuree]

thanks a lot to jasonLee and yoladu..wherever you are..who are u..we are fren forever..yesterday i have some problem to patching...this morning just successfully patched.. but still does'n find any Log file into Garmin Folder..maybe i does't create some track..i'll do this latter..

nuvi automatically creates log file in your nuvi drive when you press 'start recording' ...kenapa tak percaya ke? tapi sayang aku punya nuvi 200w dah semiggu pecah lcd lepas patched 3 hari

Bukan Tak Percaya..but this is reallity..just 10.00am later...i'm going move on with my car..and use this tracklog..when i push start recording..it look like working..but when i press stop..and back to speedometer..can't press start playback..why.. ...but now i trying to open Garmin Folder in my PC..but still doesn't find Log File..Should i create manually Log File by myself..or my Nuvi 200W..HWid 0747..design USA,MAde Taiwan don't support logtrack function.. ...headache....

Hi Fauzee,

You can't start playback and you need mapsource and wNutrak to covert the log. You should open Garmin folder in your garmin unit but not Garmin folder in your PC. Try refer below link for how to convert the track log to PC:

Hi Bro Fauzee,

I am just about to convert the track log I recorded this morning so I shall show you screen shots of the process.

Now what concerns me is what your real HWID is. Earlier, you posted that you had a Garmin Nuvi 200w HWID 0737 V4.0 and successfully applied the patch which is great. Now you say that you HWID is 0747. Is this a typo or your real HWID? If so, there is no patch available for HWID 0747 so you should not try to patch.

If you have successfully patched, with your GPS connected to your PC, you should see this in your Windows Explorer:

Logs Folder.jpg

Next, you should run wNutrak.exe and point to your track log folder (20090216_233445 in my case) as the input file. I prefer to move it to my PC to work and after clicking on the 'Convert' button, this is the result:

converted file.jpg

Now, if you look into your destination folder, you will see a gpx file with almost the same name as the track log folder (mine is 20090216_233500.gpx) The name is automatically generated but the first block of numbers is the date. Although I recorded the track this morning 20090217, the program must have picked up the GMT time from the file (which is still 20090216).

Now open this gpx file with your MapSource and this is what you will see:

If your HWID is not 0737 and you have not properly patched your unit, then the above will not work for you. It may explain why it won't playback your 'recorded' track. The playback is exactly like the GPS Simulator except that the route taken, the speed and time you stopped etc., are all exactly as it happened earlier like a video recording of your navigation screen.

Please read my procedure again VERY CAREFULLY HERE.

After you have converted the track log binary fines to gpx, you don't load it back into your GPS. Your GPS will not show the trace of your track nor will your track be permanently embedded in your MFM map. You won't even know that the track is there.

The only way to see it is to open the gpx file in MapSource. Then you can change the track properties to give it a more meaningful name and save it as a gdb file in your PC. You can only see your tracks in your PC. You can of course submit the gdb files as your contribution to the mapping effort.
