With Beta 2.71, the track logs get saved with the day in the
name. That means the largest track log on the micro SD card the unit
will save is 24 hours of track. If the unit is running past midnight
local time, it creates a new file with the new date and keeps on
ticking. With this caveat, there doesn't seem to be a limit except
the size of the micro SD card you have.

Can you see the track log files on the SD card from Windows Explorer? Or only with MapSource? I guess the files are not anything as simple as ASCII text files.

When you get it back to the PC, MapSource does become a problem. I
have a 7 Meg track which took 17 hours to gather. It takes MapSource
over 15 minutes to open this track on my 2GHz laptop. During that
time, MapSource is taking 100% of the CPU. The MapSource
data parser needs some real work! Once the track is in MapSource it
seems to handle it just fine.

In MapSource, can you see all the data fields for each of the trackpoints in a list format?
