1. Highlight the ‘METHOD’ field, and press
E
.

Setup Pages
Entering a time interval in
to the track recording cri-
teria will plot your posi-
tion points further apart
than they would be in the
‘Automatic’ setting. This
will increase the distance
you can travel without
using up your track log,
but will greatly reduce the
effectiveness of TracBack.
