Setting Track History

Using TRACK HISTORY records where you have been by automatically
storing locations, as "dropping bread crumbs" from your starting point as

starting point, the receiver uses these points to return using the same path to
your starting point.
You can set the distance at which the receiver drops these points by
selecting TRACK HISTORY. You can choose from OFF, AUTO, and a
list of other distance units. If AUTO is chosen, the receiver will
automatically store track history points based on your speed and
direction of travel. Therefore, when travelling a straight distance fewer
track points will be dropped than when you are turning
