    Hello, I've recently installed Garmin XT Mobile into my Nokia 5230 and I have a track available in Tools/Manage My Data/Tracks/View saved Tracks. I want to follow this track like if it was a route. Do you know if it is possible? Probably converting it somehow to route? This track goes both on road and off-road.

      Hi lilfoo, you are trying to backtrack your route for hiking or biking i assume. I have never use GarminXT for that purpose before. I apologize for uable to give you this info. Perhaps you might want to try ViewRanger. I use it for my hiking trips. It uses less battery power if you tweak it properly.

A Better SKMEI 1358 Instructions Manual

This SKMEI 1358 digital watch is a great watch for a really cheap price. However, the instructions manual is far from good. It took me some time to explore some of the functions and at the same time trying to understand the instructions manual provided by SKMEI. I decided to write an alternative instructions manual for this watch so that other owners of this watch might benefit from it. But never the less, I am not a good English language writer myself. But I do think it is still better than the instructions manual provided. Feel free to correct me using the comment section.

How to force stop or cancel Android download manager downloading process

When downloading a large file with CartoonHD, it would take a very long time to complete. I have found that there is no way I could stop or cancel the downloading process if I decided to. Even if I reboot my Note 4, the downloading will restart again after the device rebooted. The only way the downloading can be stop is by uninstalling CartoonHD. I found a way to force stop or cancel the downloading process and here is what I did.

SKMEI 1358 Review

I bought this watch four months ago and I have been wearing it every week during my weekend hiking. Overall this watch is impressive considering the number of features per the price that I have paid for it. All the features worked flawlessly considering that this is a relatively cheap watch comparing it to Casio ProTrek range of watch. SKMEI 1358 is basically an equivalent of Casio's triple sensors watches. You might know them as Pro Trek or Pathfinder in North America. It has a barometer, a thermometer, and a digital compass. It also has an extra sensor that the Pro Trek watches might not have as far as I know of. It has a pedometer. Yes, it counts steps and estimates the calories burnt and distance traveled. With the combination of these sensors, this is an ideal outdoor watch you can have for a fraction of a Casio Pro Trek price. SKMEI 1358
