Download detailed gpx from Garmin Drive

Hi
I noticed this query on the osm help site
https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/77360/how-to-get-a-gpx-trace-from-a-garmin-drive
And As I am considering getting a new Garmin Drive, I would like to download a gpx track that has all the points too, especially when driving offroad or in remote locations where the tracks are not mapped.
Is it possible to download a proper gpx of your trip similar to what an Etrex provides?

Your quick response is much appreciated.
Now if you are driving off the mapped roads, then obviously road-snap won't be a problem. However, you don't have all the settings for track recording method on an automotive device and track recording is probably similar to the automatic mode on an eTrex.
Have not looked at this for a long time, but most Garmin devices used to have an "advanced track recording" feature as part of the hidden developer menu which could be used to record much more accurate tracks. See this:
