Garmin Montana 600

I'm going to copy my tracks off of the Garmin Montana 600, but first I want to just connect the unit to the PC via USB and see what's on there:

In the Garmin GPX Archive, I see the following:

J:\Garmin\GPX\Archive\2018-07-18 16.31.51 Auto.gpx
J:\Garmin\GPX\Archive\2018-07-18 18.29.43 Auto.gpx
J:\Garmin\GPX\Archive\2018-07-18 22.00.46 Auto.gpx
J:\Garmin\GPX\Archive\2018-07-21 06.49.15 Auto.gpx
J:\Garmin\GPX\Archive\2018-07-27 12.04.03 Auto.gpx
J:\Garmin\GPX\Archive\2018-08-09 09.28.33 Auto.gpx

So, today is 8/9/2018. So, it looks like I have some tracks on here. A few anyway.
So, my assumption is that it's automatically archiving these tracks, and storing them in this directory.

I'll copy them off into the following directory: S:\_2018\Garmin\GPX_Archive

Now, I'll use my old tried-and-true method of copying the gpx tracks off of the Garmin Montana using EasyGPS.

Launch EasyGPS.
Click "Receive From GPS"
Check the boxes for "Tracks" and "Saved Tracks"
Now, I see my tracks in EasyGPS listed as follows:
Current Track 09 AUG 2018
2018-07-18 16.31.51 Auto
2018-07-18 18.29.43 Auto
2018-07-18 22.00.46 Auto
2018-07-21 06.49.15 Auto
2018-07-27 12.04.03 Auto
2018-08-09 09.28.33 Auto

So, it looks like today's ride was broken into 2 tracks for whatever reason:

Current Track 09 AUG 2018 12:00 163.27 miles 7346 trackpoints.
2018-08-09 09.28.33 Auto 76.24 miles 2700 trackpoints

So, it looks like the "Current Track" wasn't copied over when I did my export initially above.
So, I'll try to graph out my ride from today.

https://www.relive.cc/

Relive is absolutely useless. They don't explain how to upload my gps tracks to relive for graphing. Well done.


I managed to save off my tracks from today as follows:

s:\_2018\garmin\2018-08-09 09.28.33 Auto.gpx

Somehow, I did manage to merge all of my tracks from today into this one file. not clear how.

It would be nice if I could upload the gpx tracks to Relive, but I'm not clear how to do this.
