Garmin NavTalk - Manual (Page 92)

6.10.4 TracBack
TracBack allows you to retrace your path without
the need to manually store waypoints along the way.
The NavTalk can be set to automatically record track log
points any time the receiver is on and locked onto satel-
lites (see page 91).
TracBack routes are created by reducing your track
log into a route of up to 30 waypoints and activating
the new route in reverse order along those waypoints.
Once activated, a TracBack route will lead you back
to the oldest track log point stored in memory, so it’s a
good idea to clear the active track log at the beginning
of your current trip (e.g., at the dock or trailhead),
before you get started.
To clear the active track log and define a start-
ing point for a TracBack:
1. Press MENU twice to display the Main Menu.
2. Highlight ‘Track Logs’ and press ENTER.
3. With the ‘Active Log’ highlighted press MENU to display the
options list.
4. Highlight ‘Clear Active Log’ and press ENTER.
5. Press ENTER to delete the track log data. (Or press QUIT
to cancel.)
To create and start a TracBack route:
1. Enable track log recording and leave the NavTalk on to
automatically record track log positions while under way.
Refer to page 91 for more information on track log settings.
2. Press MENU twice to display the Main Menu.
3. Highlight ‘Track Logs’ and press ENTER.
4. Highlight the desired track log (‘Active Log’ or ‘Saved Logs’)
and press MENU to display the options list.
5. Highlight ‘TracBack’ and press ENTER to create/activate
the TracBack route. (A message box will appear while the
NavTalk analyzes the data and creates the route.)
Once a TracBack has been started, the NavTalk will
take one of the track logs currently stored in memory
and divide it into route segments, called ‘legs’. Up to 30
track log waypoints (labeled ‘T###’, e.g. ‘T001’) will be
created to mark the most significant features of the track
log in order to duplicate your path as closely as possible.
