Tracks

Tracks are like little footprints on the Graphic Map
that show you exactly where you have been. The
track appears as a tiny dotted line made up of track
points. As you move, your GPS unit records a track
point every second (by default) with the time and your
position and speed. Your GPS unit then saves these
points as a track.

Viewing Tracks

Tracks received from your GPS unit appear in the
Tracks tab after you receive them. You can view tracks
on the Graphic Map and edit them using the Track
Properties dialog box.
Double-click any track in the Tracks tab to open the
Track Properties dialog box. You can change the
track name, invert the track, view a vertical profile
of the track, and view and edit track points. For more
information, see "Transferring MapSource Data,"
