As you travel with your eXplorist receiver on, it will
continuously record your track. Track is then a history of
everywhere you have gone. At anytime you want to reverse your
direction and head back to where you started, you can create a
Backtrack route. This route will automatically be computed
using the track history stored in your eXplorist receiver.

Your track history may go back further then your intended
destination. You may want to clear your track (from the
Track Log menu above, highlight "Clear Track" and press
Enter)
before you begin your travels so when you do a
backtrack route, it is limited to just the track history desired.
You can also save your track history using the Save
command from the "Track Log" option or convert the track
to one of your saved routes with the "Convert to Route"
option. This will allow your eXplorist receiver to guide you
over the same path at a future date.
