Tracks; Tracking - Standard Horizon CP500 Owner's Manual

10. TRACKS

The CP500 has the capability to store 20 individual Tracks and record up to 10,000 Track
Points. Before using the Track function you will need to setup the Track function that suits
your boat. The Track function records your tracks your vessels location as it moves through
the water. The Track function can be setup to lay down a Track for a predetermined time
or distance interval. If you have a fast moving boat you may want to setup the GPS Chart
Plotter to record a Track point every 0.5Nm or if you have a sail boat you may want to setup
to lay down a Track point once ever 1 minute.
Please note the Track point memory is 10,000 points. This means for a long journey you may have
to adjust the time or distance to be able to track your journey. It should be noted when the 10,000
Track points are used up, the first Track point layed down will be deleted when a new point is placed
on the chart.

TRACKING

When using the Tracking feature you will notice every time a Track Point is layed down on
the Chart page a small filled in circle is shown on the Track line. If you move the cursor over
the top of the circle a popup window will be shown with the Time, Water Temperature, Speed
and Course Over Ground (COG). This is very useful if you are fishing and want to review
the conditions where the fish were being caught.
