Follow Track and TracBack Navigation

A track is an electronic breadcrumb trail recording or history of your path. The

track currently being recorded is the “active” track. An active track can be stored

or saved in the unit. Both the Follow Track and TracBack options navigate in

the same way. Follow Track uses stored or “saved” tracks; TracBack uses your

current or “active” track.

TracBack allows you to retrace your path using the track log stored in the

receiver’s memory, which eliminates the need to store waypoints along the way.

TracBack routes are created by reducing your track log into a route and activating

an inverted route. When active, a TracBack route leads you through your stored

track log points, so it is a good idea to clear the existing track log before you start

your current trip.

To clear the track log:

1. Press and hold

ADJ/MENU to open the Main Menu.

2. Using the

ROCKER, highlight the Tracks tab, and then highlight the

Active sub tab.

3. Press the

Clear soft key. A confirmation message appears.

4. Press the

OK soft key to clear the track log.
