how to delete a portion of gps track

Here's hoping someone can understand what I'm trying to do...
I have a track saved on my etrex 30 that contains additional wanderings that I don't want to keep (i.e. I forgot to turn it off). Is there anyway to delete a portion of track already saved?

You can edit it in Mapsource or Basecamp.
Download and save a copy of the original first in case you stuff up.
Just look at track properties, delete the nodes you don't want.

Thank you neilmny, I'll give it a go, but I'm not very tech savy, so it will take me a while! :oops: :)

All done! The longest part was waiting for basecamp to download via my (very) slow internet connection.
Now I'll have to find the time to play with basecamp.
Thanks again.
