I've got a Garmin eTrex Vista Hcx.
Heretofore (love that word) I've always moved a track from my software (Basecamp) to the GPS and when I turned on the GPS the track automagically appears on the screen and I'm ready to go.
This time I've created a route instead of a track and copied it to the GPS. I've never used the route feature before.
When it comes to navigating with the GPS what is the difference between a route and a track?
