5.7 Using Tracks

The Track function is used to mark on-screen the trail that your vessel has
followed, as if it had left a visible fixed wake.
While the track is turned on, it is recorded in the display unit's memory. You
specify the interval at which track points are made, a line is drawn on-screen
between each point. Up to 4500 track points can be saved in total, in up to 5
track files (each a maximum of 750 points).
The track remains on-screen, even following a power off/on, until you clear
the track.
A track can be saved and retrieved for display at a later date. For example, you
may wish to display a previous track, and then place waypoints along it that
you can follow. You can only display one track at a time; you must clear a
current track from the screen if you want to display a saved track.
