You don't need a printer for viewing,. You can print it out onto pdf format then just view it.

you don't have to buy it - trial version will just leave a footer note stating such.

CutePDF is PDF printing freeware which will do the same thing

I always print results to PDF for a record of results then print out because I'm to lazy to zip between screens

we all do it different !
i like to use the Right Mouse click ..
left side of screen, under divisions, track Files.
Right Click on the name of the track
select properties
Track File Properties, list's the total distance in K's and Nm's

there are other ways, find one that suits you, hope this has helped

Yep, I do it different again.
I go to the data screen, (starts with Track, Latitude, Longitude, Date etc) scroll across to "Total Dist" and "Total Dop Dist" then scroll down to end of data.
The last entries are the total distance. I normally use doppler distance.

i use both realspeed and gpsresults but prefer gpsresults V6 for ease of use(excellent layout)and gives an average from both gt31's,everything is there no need to go searching and auto send makes things simple.

What is the difference between Doppler distance and Total distance? When I use Doppler it gives me a few more km's than Total distance (eg in the one case I tested 35.44 vs 31.26).

I have until now been using Total distance for my postings on gpstc.

There's a different calculation method.
I assume something like this.
"Total Dist" uses trackpoints and joins a straight line between all the recorded points, so you don't get the full circumference of any turns.
Doppler checks the speed (once a second for the GTs) then calculates the distance from that.

And yes I've noticed that if there are no spikes, doppler is a slightly greater distance, but if there are any spikes trackpoints can give a very big extra distance error.
