Garmin 2810 Track

Can anyone provide a uncomplicated process by which I can convert a
track on my 2810 into a route on my computer's mapsource program.

Thanks
Jon

Jon,

as far as I know, this is not possible.
Use the rubberband tool to draw the route along the lines of the tracks.

The shortest answer is doing.

Thanks for the confirmation, that's what I have been doing but it is
difficult to get the exact route without creating a number of useless
waypoints along the way.

That is not useless if it gets you the route you want. It is generally
called multiple destination routing, and used to control the routing
when the GPS receiver does not use the roads you want to take.

Believe it or not, the GPS receiver does not have a clue as to why you
drove the way you did to create the track and it does not see the track
in the route calculation process.

It will give you either the most direct route or the quickest route.
The quickest route in the GPS receiver's opinion will normally be the
one that stays on the roads with the highest speed limits.

So your choice is to click on the start and then the end, then rubber
band the route (Insert Route Section from the Properties menu) to make
it go where you want.

You're lucky you have a 2810, most of the newer receivers won't let you
control routing that way.

Yes, quite. The waypoints you generate are what Garmin used to call "via
points" on the 2610. They are associated with that particular route and are
only saved as long as you keep the route in question. If you want to keep any
of the via points permanently you have to save them as "favourites"
