I thought I was the only one that did all that. I recorded the track the
whole way through my training as well. I actually keep track of the fuel and
mileage, altitudes etc.... I use Garmin's flightbook with the 196, and also
Mapsource. It shows the path overlayed on a map of the U.S. It shows every
mistake in track and deviation from course. You can download the waypoints
from the gps as well if you like. Do you have any screenshots so I can see
if it's any better than the way I have been doing it?

No screenshots, but I'll see if I can put a .pdf file or two on
my web page. Might be a bit as we're considering to change ISPs.

The only thing I would say is "different" (better depends on goals)
is that instead of a map of the US, I'm using aviation charts. So
I can see how my track relates to airspace, airports etc (if using
VFR sectional) or how my track relates to the instrument approach
I'm flying, which was my personal motivation.

If you have the capability to use aviation charts in Mapsource then
I would say it's pretty much the same thing.
