Tracks And Tracking; Navigation: Highway Display - Navman TRACKFISH 6500 Installation And Operation Manual

3-5 Tracks and tracking

Tracking records the boat's position to memory
at regular intervals, which can be:
Time intervals.
Or distance intervals.
The track of where the boat has been can be
displayed on the chart. The TRACKFISH can
display one track while recording another.
To work with tracks, see section 17-6.
The TRACKFISH can store five tracks:
Track 1 can hold up to 2000 points and is
intended to record the normal progress of
the boat.
Tracks 2, 3, 4 and 5 can hold up to 500
points each and are intended to record
sections to be retraced accurately, for
example entering a river mouth.

Tip: Record the tracks in good conditions.
When recording is on and the track becomes
full then recording continues and the oldest
points in the track are deleted. The maximum
length of a track depends on the selected track
interval: a small interval will give a shorter,
more detailed track and a long interval will
give a longer, less detailed track, as shown in
these examples:
