TracBack Navigation

GARMIN' s patented TracBack feature allows you to quickly retrace your path
using the track log automatically stored in the receiver. This feature eliminates the
need to mark waypoints along the way and manually create and activate a route back
to where you began your trip. You may select one of three track recording options:
Off—no plot will be recorded.
Fill—a track plot will be recorded until track memory is full.
Searching—a track plot will be continuously recorded, wrapping through the
available memory (replacing the oldest data with new data).
To select a track log option:
1. Highlight the 'record' field Fig. 42a), press ENTER, select an option, and press ENTER.
Once a TracBack route is activated, it will lead you back to the oldest track log
point stored in memory, so it' s usually a good idea to clear the existing track log at
the start of each trip.
To clear the track log and define a starting point for a TracBack route:
1. From the Map Page, press ENTER, highlight the 'track setup' option, and press ENTER.
2. Highlight 'CLEAR LOG?' (Fig. 42b), press ENTER, highlight 'Yes?', and press ENTER.
