Tracks Tab - Garmin GPSMAP 3005C Owner's Manual

Tracks Tab

Use the Tracks tab to specify whether or not to record a track log, define how it
is recorded, or save track log data for future use. The Tracks tab also provides an
indicator of the memory used for the active track log and allows you to clear the
track memory. The Track tab is divided in two sub tabs: Active and Saved.
For more information setting up track options and saved tracks, see pages 20-21.
Active Sub Tab
The Active sub tab shows the amount of track memory used and current settings
for the active log (the log currently being recorded). The active log stores up to
approximately 10,000 track log points, based on the criteria specified in the Track
settings.

The following settings are available:
• Record Mode—allows you to select one of three track recording options:
• Off—No track log is recorded. If you select Off, you cannot use the
TracBack feature.
• Fill—a track log is recorded until the track memory is full.
• Wrap—a track log is continuously recorded, wrapping through the
available memory (replacing the oldest track data with new data).
• Color—allows you to specify a color used to show the active track log on
the Map and Highway Pages.
• Interval—defines the frequency at which the track plot is recorded. Three
interval settings are available:
• Distance—records the track based on a user-defined distance between
points.
• Time—records track plot based on a user-defined time interval.
• Resolution—records the track plot based on a user-defined variance
from your course over ground or changes in water depth/temp
(if equipped). The Resolution option is the default setting and is
recommended for the most efficient use of memory and TracBack
performance. The distance value (entered in the value field) is the
maximum error allowed from the true course before recording a track
point.
• Value—defines the distance or time used to record the track log.
The following soft keys are available:
• Save—saves the current active track log.
• Clear—clears the active track log currently stored in memory.
