2. Select Start Track.
The start track pop up message is displayed.
3. Select Ok.
As you navigate your vessel, your journey is
automatically recorded as a track.
Note: If the power fails whilst a track is being
recorded or the position fix is lost, a break will
occur in the track.
Note: If the maximum number of tracking points
is reached, you will be warned. The track will
continue to be recorded with the earlier tracking
points being overwritten.

the Navigate menu: Menu > Navigate > Stop
Track.
The track stopped pop up message is displayed.
5. Select Save, Erase or Cancel.
• Save — Will save the track and open the Edit
track Properties dialog where you can name
the track and choose a color for the track line.
• Erase — Will erase the track.

Track interval
The track interval specifies the time period or
distance between the points in a track.
You can adjust the interval between track points and
choose the interval type (i.e. distance or time), which
can help ensure best use of the available storage.
The settings are available from the Tracks Set-up
options.
• Record Track By — specifies the interval type
(Auto / Time / Distance).
152
• Track Interval — specifies the interval value (e.g.
15 minutes).
For example when creating a track for a long journey,
an interval set to Auto could result in rapid use of all
of the storage available for track points. In this case
selecting a higher value for the Track Interval would
provide capacity for a longer track.
Setting the track interval

on the Homescreen:
1. Select Tracks.
2. Select Track Set-up.
3. Select Record Tracks By: and set to the
appropriate value:
• Auto— The track interval is automatically
set (Auto will minimize track points whilst
maintaining correlation between the track and
the actual path followed).
• Time— The track points are placed at regular
intervals of time.
• Distance— The track points are placed at
regular intervals of distance.
4. Select the Track Interval and set to the
appropriate value:
• Units of time (available if "record track by" is
set to time).
• Units of distance (available if "record track by"
is set to distance).

the "record track by" is set to auto).
