Original question asked on Dec 16, 2012, 11:25pm

I would like to show multiple tracks at the same time on my eTrex 30. I notice there is a question on your GPSMap 62s Q&A page that asks the same question and a U-Tube video that shows "how to" for the 62s. The eTrex 30 has the same menu "look and feel" as the 62s. I have tried selecting each track I want to show in Track Manager and setting it to "Show on Map", but when I go to the Map screen only the currently selected track show?? I have as many as 30 track segment that I want to display concurrently, is there a limit to how many can be shown concurrently. I am using Software Version 2.80.

Once all tracks are enabled you need to backout of the track Manager. If you choose a mapping view option from the track Manager screen it will only show the last one you turned on. But if you backout of those menus and select the regular Map icon you should see them all

Jordan, thank you for your prompt reply. What you say works well, but I was hoping to be able to display adjacent and intersecting tracks to the current track on the map while navigating the current track. Maybe the Garmin OS software has not reached that degree of sophistication??

On the computer I suggest turning your tracks to routes using Basecamp. Right click on the track in the list and select the 'Make route from Track" option on your computer. Then upload those routes. You should be able to navigate the route and see the surrounding tracks at the same time. If you do not need turn guidance then you could also follow tracks on the screen.
