Track

The track (or movement) of your vessel is plotted on the screen with position data.
Your track lets you see how your vessel has moved.
The track is saved to the hard disk if the track is active. A line runs between each track
point. The hard disk stores a maximum 10,000 points. When the memory for track
points becomes full, the oldest track points are deleted to get space for new track
points.
Your track remains on the screen when the power is removed. You can delete the
track that you do not need from the menu.
The saved track can be shown on the screen, and you can make a route with the
saved track.

Track Recording Method, Interval

In drawing the track, the position of your ship is stored into the memory of this unit at
an interval of time or distance. A shorter interval provides better reconstruction of the
track, but the storage time of the track is reduced. When the track memory becomes
full, the oldest track is erased to make room for the latest.

2. Open the [Ship & Track] menu.
3. Use the RotoKey to select [Track Interval].

your selection at step 4.
