Track Tab - Garmin GPSMAP 176 Owner's Manual

Track Tab

The Track tab's multiple features are divided in two tabs: the Active
tab and the Saved tab. You can specify whether or not to record a
track log (an electronic bread crumb trail recording of your path),
define how it is recorded, or save track log data for future use. The
Track tab also displays the memory used for the active track log and
allows you to clear the track memory or start a TracBack route. See
pages 26-28 for TracBack information.
Active Tab
The Active tab displays information about the active track log (the log
currently being recorded). It displays track memory used and current
settings.

For the Active tab, the following settings are available:
• Record Mode—lets you select one of three track recording
options:
Off: No track log is recorded. Note that turning recording Off
prevents you from using the TracBack feature.
Fill: A track log is recorded until the track memory is full.
Wrap: A track log is continuously recorded, replacing the
oldest track data with new data.
• Interval—defines the frequency at which the track is recorded.
Three interval settings are available:
Distance: Records track based on a user-defined distance
between points.
Time: Records track based on a user-defined time interval.
Resolution: Records track based upon a user-defined variance
from your course over ground. The resolution option is the
default setting and is recommended for the most efficient use
of memory and TracBack performance. The distance value
(entered in the value field) is the maximum error allowed from
the true course before recording a track point.
• Value—defines the distance or time used to record the track.
• Save—allows you to save the current active track log.
• Clear—allows you to clear the active track log.
