Creating and Saving a Trail

A trail, or plot trail, is a string of position points plotted by the Global-
Map 4000M as you travel. It's a travel history, a record of the path you
have taken. Trails are useful for repeating a journey along the same
track. They are particularly handy when you are trying to retrace your
trip and go back the way you came. On the screen, trails are repre-
sented by a solid line extending from the back of the current position
arrow.
The GlobalMap 4000M is set at the factory to automatically create and
record a trail while the unit is turned on. The unit will continue re-
cording the trail until the length reaches the maximum trail point set-
ting (default is 2,000, but the unit can record trails 9,999 points long).
When the point limit is reached, the GlobalMap 4000M begins record-
ing the trail over itself.
By default, the trail flashes once a second, making it easier to see
against the background map. With the default auto setting, the
GlobalMap 4000M creates a trail by placing a dot (trail point) on the
screen every time you change directions. (The methods used for creat-
ing a trail and the trail update rate can both be adjusted or even turned
off. See Sec. 5 for Trail Options.)
To preserve a trail from point A to point B, you must "turn off" the trail
by making it inactive before heading to point C or even back to point A.
When the current trail is set inactive, the GlobalMap 4000M automati-
cally creates and begins recording a new trail.
