2.11.7 How to create a route with track currently being recorded
(track back)
You can create a route with track that is currently being recorded. This method can be
useful for retracing track; for example, when you need to retrieve crab pots or the like.
The route is saved to the routes list.
1. Tap the current track to show the pop-up menu.
2. Tap [Track Back].
A route is then created as shown below.
• Points are created along the route. Arrows on the
route point in the direction of travel.
• A thick red dashed line runs between the starting
point ("1" in the figure below) and go to point ("2"
in the figure below). A solid yellow line shows the
shortest distance between current position and go
to point.
• Route points are highlighted in yellow.
• Arrival range and cross track error lines are shown.
