[ryangus]

Anybody able to explain the difference between a route and a track?

 

[Walkabout]

A route is the way you intend to travel to go from point A to point B,C etc which can be 1 or more roads/tracks etc to get to a destination.
The term track when talking 4wding is most commonly used to describe a dirt or bush road.
For a more accurate explanation see below.

In terms of a GPS, a Route is an intended way to go from A to B, along a particular route. It will give you the shortest distance between the two, but if you want to follow particular roads, you will have to set a series of waypoints to achieve this.

A Track is a bread crumb trail of where you have been, while the GPS is on. Tracks can be used in OziExplorer to highlight tracks on a map then uploaded to the GPS. It is simply a matter of following the track on the GPS which will follow the track turn by turn, depending on how accurate your map is.

I hope this helps!
