How to Make a Track from GPS Waypoints

During a car trip to Sao Paulo today I was using my GPX at the beginning and the end when i run out of battery power.

On both occasions the power was cut. I thought there was a continuous recording of the GPS data,but I can find no trace of i.

If the wpts were recorded in the WPT's area of the Route Manager,I think it should always be saved as a default,even after a power cut.

Grateful for ideas..

Tore

Re: HOW TO MAKE A TRACK FROM GPS WPTS?

Tore,
It should have survived...?
Once, I was using the trackbutton function when my "battery died = laptop quit" and the track survived and was in the RouteManager's "Tracks" when I restarted O later.
