Archived Track and Auto Save Information
An Archived Track and Auto Saved Activity is created from the Current Track Log to free up more space for the Current Track or Activity to continue recording without losing any data. Archiving saves the Current Track or Activity but does not clear the Current Track Log.
Archived Tracks save all of the information from the Current Track. For more information on the Current Track Log, see Related.
Auto Archive and Auto Save Settings
If more control is desired over when tracks are archived or saved, there is an option to manually do so. For instructions on changing these settings, refer to your owner's manual.
For an explanation of settings you may see on your device, see below.
Archived Tracks

Archived Tracks reside in a different location of the memory and therefore will only provide the following features:
View Map - Displays the track on the map page.
Elevation Plot - Displays the elevation plot for the track.
Change Name - Allows you to change the name of the track.
Delete - Allows you to delete the track permanently.
Mark Favorite - Moves it from the list of Archived Tracks to be viewed under the Current Track.
Archived Tracks can be transferred from the device to the computer for saving and viewing by using the Garmin BaseCamp™ software. Archived Tracks are not available to sync.
