To get the most out of the TracBack feature, remember these Navigating tips:
• Always clear the track log at the point that you want to go back to (dock, etc.).
• The 'Record Mode' option on the track log setup page must be set to 'Fill' or 'Wrap'.
• There must be at least two track log points stored in memory to create a TracBack route.
• If the track log interval is set to the 'Time' option, the route may not Navigate your exact path (keep
the interval set to 'Resolution' for best performance).
• If the receiver is turned off or satellite coverage is lost during your trip, the TracBack will draw a
straight line between any point where coverage was lost and where it resumed.
• If your track' s changes in distance and direction are too complex, 50 waypoints may not mark your
path accurately. The receiver then assigns the 50 waypoints to the most signifi cant points of your
track, and simplifi es segments with fewer changes in direction.
