Creating a Route From a Trail
A trail is a line drawn on the map by your GPS unit as you travel. It's a
record of the path you've taken, showing where you've been. This
feature is also called a plot trail. In the field, the trail will extend from
your present position back to where you began recording the trail. Your
GPS unit records thousands of position points to show every twist and
turn you've taken on your journey.
MapCreate can use a GPS plot trail to create a route for use on a repeat
trip. Your GPS unit can automatically navigate the new route, making
it easy to retrace the path you took. You can even share the information
with friends. Using the Create Route From Trail command is a snap.
Here's how you do it:
1. Open a GPS Data file containing a trail.
NOTE:
GPS Data Files with relatively long trails take a few moments to
open. Please be patient when you open a data file containing a long
trail. Once the trail information has been processed, the remainder
of the data file will open very quickly.
