Follow Track and TracBack Navigation
A "track" is an electronic breadcrumb trail recording or history of your path. The track that is cur-
rently being recorded is referred to as "Active". An active Track may be stored in the unit and once stored,
is referred to as "Saved". Both the 'Follow Track' and 'TracBack' options navigate in the same way. 'Follow
Track' uses stored or "Saved" tracks. 'TracBack' uses your current or "Active" track. The TracBack function
allows you to retrace your path using the track log automatically stored in the receiver' s memory, which
eliminates the need to store waypoints along the way. TracBack routes are created by reducing your track
log into a route and activating an inverted route. Once activated, a TracBack route leads you back to the
oldest stored track log point, so it' s a good idea to clear the existing track log before you start your current
trip.
To clear the track log and defi ne a starting point for a TracBack route:
1. Hold ADJ/MENU for two seconds to display the Main Menu. Highlight the 'Tracks' tab, then highlight the
'Active' tab to the right.
2. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight the 'Clear' button and press ENTER.
3. Highlight 'OK' and press ENTER.
You must fi rst save a track log before you can use the 'Follow Track' feature. The Save feature allows
you to store up to 15 track logs from certain times and dates.
To save a track log:
1. Hold ADJ/MENU for two seconds to display the Main Menu. Highlight the 'Tracks' tab, then highlight the
'Active' tab to the right
2. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to select 'Save' and press ENTER.
3. On the 'Save Back Through' window, highlight the desired time, date, or 'Entire Log' and press ENTER.
