Track Logs - Magellan eXplorist 210 Reference Manual

Track Logs

As you are moving, the eXplorist continuously records your track. Much like
leaving breadcrumbs on the trail that you can use later to find your way
back, the eXplorist leaves "electronic breadcrumbs" on the map. The
advantage here is that you don't have to worry about animals coming along
and eating your return route markers.
This provides you with just another tool to make your eXplorist more
valuable to you out in the field or on the waters. You can save your active
track as a track log or as a multi-leg route that you can use over and over.
You can also create a backtrack route that will guide you back to your
starting point, following the same path you just took. You will find many
other additional uses for track logs once you feel comfortable with them.
Track Logs
As mentioned above, track logs are records of your travels using electronic breadcrumbs to record where you
have been. Track logs can be a track history that you have saved or the active track the eXplorist is recording.
Features of Track Logs:
• Active track is recording your travels whenever you are moving unless you have intentionally turned it
off.
• Active tracks can be cleared, stopped, and resumed, adding flexibility to recorded tracking.
• Active tracks can be converted to a saved multi-leg route, providing a quick and easy way to create
routes that can be used in the future.
• BackTrack, a function of Track Logs, provides an easy, and quick way to activate a route that will
return you to your starting position.
