Creating and Saving a Trail

A trail, or plot trail, is a string of position points plotted by the unit as you
travel. It's a travel history, a record of the path you have taken. Trails are
useful for repeating a journey along the same track. They are particularly
handy when you are trying to retrace your trip and go back the way you
came. The unit is set at the factory to automatically create and record a
trail while it is turned on. The unit will continue recording the trail until
the length reaches the maximum trail point setting. Default is 2,000, but it
can record trails up to 9,999 points long. When the point limit is reached,
the unit begins recording the trail over itself.
By default, the trail flashes once a second, making it easier to see against
the background map. With the default auto setting, the unit creates a trail
by placing a dot (trail point) on the screen every time you change
directions. The methods used for creating a trail and the trail update rate
can be adjusted or even turned off. See Sec. 8 for Trail Options.
To preserve a trail from point A to point B, you must "turn off" the trail by
making it inactive before heading to point C or even back to point A. When
the current trail is set inactive, the unit automatically creates and begins
recording a new trail.
