About tracks
Tracks are a graphical presentation of the historical path of the vessel. They allow for
retracing where your boat has travelled.
Example of the Tracks dialog:
Automatic tracking
From the factory, the system is set to automatically track and draw the vessel's movement on
the chart panel. The system continues to record the tracks until the length reaches the
maximum points, and then automatically begins overwriting the oldest points.
Ú Note:
To display tracks on the chart panel, both the Display option in the Track dialog
and the Tracks option in the Chart settings dialog have to be enabled.
Recording and displaying tracks
When the recording of a new track is started, the old one is hidden to de-clutter the chart
panel. If Display is enabled on the old track, it will continue to show on the chart panel.
Ú Note:
To display tracks on the chart panel, both the Display option in the Track dialog
and the Tracks option in the Chart settings dialog have to be enabled.
