Track Submenu & Clearing the Track Log
As you've seen, the GPSMAP 175' s main pages provide vital status,
position, navigation and map information. The last page we'll cover in the tour
is the main menu page, which provides access to the GPSMAP 175' s
waypoint, route and planning functions, as well as various operational and
navigation setup features. The main menu is available from any page, and is
accessed through the O key.
To access the main menu page:
1. Press the O key twice.
The main menu page' s 11 submenus are divided into categories by
function. You can select a particular submenu by simply highlighting the
desired option and pressing T. To get a feel for how the main menu page
works, let' s clear out the track log we've created during our simulated tour.
This will ensure that you have a clean slate once you start navigating in your
home waters.
To select the track submenu:
1. Highlight the 'Track' menu option and press T.
The track log page allows you to specify whether to record a track plot and
define how it is recorded. It also provides both an indicator of the total
memory used and the individual functions to clear the track log and start a
TracBack route.
To delete the track log:
1. Highlight the 'Delete Track' option and press T. A confirmation prompt will
appear.
2. Highlight the 'Yes' prompt and press T to confirm.
3. Press J to return to the main page sequence.

many advanced features not covered in the Getting Started tour. For detailed
instructions on using these features or performing a specific task, please refer
