Traditional Humminbird tracks consist of a collection of track points that contain the boat's detailed position history at set intervals.
The Current Track shows the position history since the HELIX control head was powered on. You can clear the Current Track or save
it at any time. For more information about tracks, see your HELIX Operations Manual.
BackTrack starts i-Pilot Link navigation back through the Current Track. When BackTrack is selected, the i-Pilot Link will mark a Start
Point at the boat's current position and navigate to the last recorded track point. It will then create a saved iTrack on top of the
Current Track (up to 2 miles).
WARNING! Watch for a turning propeller and be prepared for boat movement when working with iTracks. If Prop Auto On is turned
on, the propeller will automatically turn on when an iTrack is engaged, even if the engagement is accidental. A turning propeller
can cause injury.
NOTE: You can activate BackTrack on the Current Track. BackTrack is not available on saved tracks or when Follow the Contour
is active.

The control head allows you to BackTrack up to 2 miles. To adjust the distance, use the following instructions.

2. Select i-Pilot Settings. Press the RIGHT Cursor key.

CAUTION! Be prepared for boat movement as the prop will automatically be enabled and the prop speed will automatically adjust
