Once a TracBack has been activated, the GPSMAP 188/188C/238 Sounder will take the track

log currently stored in memory and divide it into segments called ‘legs’. Up to 254 temporary ‘turns’
(BEGIN, TURN 1, TURN 2, TURN 3,...., TURN X, END) will be created to mark the most signifi cant
features of the track log in order to duplicate your exact path as closely as possible. To get the most out
of the TracBack feature, remember the following tips:

• Always clear the track log at the point that you want to go back to (dock, etc.).

• The ‘Record Mode’ option on the track log setup page must be set to ‘Fill’ or ‘Wrap’.

• There must be at least two track log points stored in memory to create a TracBack route.
