Navigating a Saved Track

You can save your track log to use later as a
TracBack, which reduces your track log into a route
with up to 300 turns. Once activated, a TracBack
route leads you back to the oldest stored track log
point. It is a good idea to clear the existing track log
before you start your current trip. Also, you must save
an active track log before you can navigate it as a
TracBack.
To activate a TracBack:
1. Press NAV, highlight Navigate Track, and
press ENTER.
2. On the Tracks page, highlight the track you
want to navigate and press ENTER.
3. Select the TracBack button on the Tracks or
Saved Tracks page and press ENTER.
4. Use the Rocker key to select the point you
want to navigate to (TracBack to) and press
ENTER.

TracBack Tips

Once you activate a TracBack, the 76CS Plus divides
the track into segments called legs. Up to 300 tem-
porary turns are created to mark the most significant
features of the track in order to duplicate your exact
path as closely as possible. To get the most out of the
TracBack feature, remember these tips:
• Always clear the track log at the point that you
want to go back to (such as a dock or campsite).
• The Track Log must be set to On.
• If the track log Record Method is set to Time,
the route may not navigate your exact path (set
to Auto for best performance).
• If the receiver is turned off or satellite cover-
age is lost during your trip, TracBack draws a
straight line between any point where coverage
was lost and where it resumed.
• If the changes in distance and direction of your
track are too complex, 300 waypoints may not
mark your path accurately. The receiver then
uses the most significant points of your track so
there will be fewer changes in direction.
