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. On the screen, trails are represented by a solid line

extending from the back of the current position arrow.
The unit is set at the factory to automatically create and record a trail

while the unit is turned on. The unit will continue recording the trail

until the length reaches the maximum trail point setting (default is

2,000, but the unit can record trails 9,999 points long). When the point

limit is reached, the unit begins recording the trail over itself.
