Creating and Saving a Trail
A trail, or plot trail, is a string of position points plotted by the Global-
Map Baja 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 represented
by a solid line extending from the back of the current position arrow.
The GlobalMap Baja is set at the factory to automatically create and re-
cord a trail while the unit is turned on. The unit will continue recording
the trail until the length reaches the maximum trail point setting (de-
fault is 2,000, but the unit can record trails 9,999 points long). When the
point limit is reached, the unit begins recording 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 Baja
creates a trail by placing a dot (trail point) on the screen every time you
change directions (The trail update rate and the methods used for creating
a trail can 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 inactive, the GlobalMap Baja automatically
begins recording a new trail.
