How to view walk on PC OS map

Ok, so I have just done my walk with the satmap which gathered a trail of where I'd been. I open SatSync and I can see All_Raw_Tracks.gpx file. What do I have to do to get that file onto my PC to, say for example, display it in THe Hugs OS map or even Google earth. I've converted trail to track on my Satmap 10 - can this file be used to view where I've been?

Help.

On your Satmap, press the Page button and the Routes button to go into the Routes menu; select "Convert Trail to Track" and press Convert; clear or otherwise the trail and log data on the prompts; select your new Route (Track) and name it something meaningful; connect up to SatSync and after selecting this track, press "Export"

This will creat a gpx file which can be imported into map and route software, or even Google Earth...

I hope this is helpful.

Nathan.

ps. the Raw.map files are your original trail data and seem to remain; I've not tried anything with them so far; the *.map file with your chosen track name is a reduced data route converted from this...

That's worked Nathan, thanks.

As you will know, the Satmap User Manual is not very good but as a matter of interest, where is the info necessary to let you know how to work SatSync and indeed how to use the files that SatMap creates.

definitely NOT instruction wise in the Satmap user manual.
Dont forget that the Satmap UNIT came out before SatSync etc were released.

Work SatSync ; the instructions are with the download page if i remember correctly.

How to use the maps created thats a question of looking at previous threads on this board using the search tool and trial and error on your part
using Hug software (your first post in this thread).
How to actually do it ; i don't know as I dont use the Software mentioned

mike and co. said it all, really: read threough some threads on this forum and then played around with Satsync. I knew roughly what could be done, just had to find out how.

have fun...

In response To Mike
i will put my cards on the table.
i have Memory map and Anquet ; my need for Hug is therefore rather suspect.
But i appreciate your thoughts .

As to the original poster billywhiz ; i stand by my remark do a search on a topic - it in all probability has been covered on this board.
play with the machine and try different operations- theoretically one cant
break it doing a few 'key switches'
