Note: If the power fails whilst a track is being recorded or the
position fix is lost, a break will occur in the track. Only the last
segment of a track can be converted into a route.
Note: If the maximum number of tracking points is reached, you
will be warned. The track will continue to be recorded with the
earlier tracking points being overwritten.
5. To complete your track select Stop Track from the Navigate
menu: Menu > Navigate > Stop Track.
The track stopped pop up message is displayed.
6. Select Save, Erase or Cancel.

• Erase — Will erase the track.
• Cancel — Will cancel the Stop Track action.
Track interval
The track interval specifies the time period or distance between
the points in a track.
You can adjust the interval between points which can help ensure
best use of the available storage.
The settings are available from the My Data menu:
• Record Track By — specifies the interval type (Auto / Time /
Distance).
• Track Interval — specifies the interval value (e.g. 15 minutes).
For example when creating a track for a long journey, an interval
set to Auto could result in rapid use of all of the storage available
for track points. In this case selecting a higher value for the Track
Interval would provide capacity for a longer track.
