Navigating Trails

There are three methods for following a trail: visual trailing, navigat-

ing a trail (forward) and backtracking a trail (backward). Try each

method to see which you prefer.
Visual trailing is the simplest method. It uses only the Map Page and

requires no menu commands at all. The technique works the same if

you are running a trail forward (from start to end) or backward (from

end to start.) However, visual trailing provides no navigation informa-

tion during the trip, such as the time to your destination.

The other two methods provide a full range of navigation data and

work with both the Map Page and Navigation Page. The only difference

between them is "navigating a trail" follows a trail forward (from start

to end) while "backtracking" follows a trail in reverse (from end to

start.)
When hiking at walking speed with a hand-held GPS, we often just use

visual back trailing because it is a bit better at following each little

turn on a foot path. At faster speeds, such as the highway or on the wa-

ter, the Navigate Trail and Backtrack Trail commands are handy.
Visual Trailing
1. On the Map Page, zoom (

ZIN

or

ZOUT

) so your flashing trail is visible.

2. Begin moving and watch the Map Page. Simply walk or steer so that

your current position arrow traces along the trail you have just made.

Tip:

Generally, when using this method, the smaller the zoom range,

the more accurately you will be able to steer along the trail.
