TracBack Navigation
‘Go To MAP Point’ allows you to navigate to a spot on the map
which is not a waypoint or map item.
Press the ‘Save’ SOFT KEY to save an active track log.
To activate an existing waypoint or map item as a ‘Go To’ from the map display:
1. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight the waypoint or map item on screen and press NAV.
2. You will see ‘Go To <waypoint name>’, then press ENTER/MARK. You may also highlight the waypoint or
map item, press ENTER/MARK to review it first, press NAV and then press ENTER/MARK.
To activate a new map point (non-map item) as a ‘Go To’ from the map display:
1. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to move the arrow cursor to the desired position.
2. Press NAV, you will see ‘Go To MAP Point’ highlighted, then press ENTER/MARK.
TracBack Navigation (Follow Track)
The second method of navigating to a destination is by using the TracBack or Follow Track feature.
The TracBack function allows you to retrace your path using the track log automatically 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 of up to 254 turns and activating a route along those points. Once
activated, a TracBack route leads you along the stored track log points, so it’s a good idea to clear the exist-
ing track log before the start of your current trip.
To clear the track log and define a starting point for a TracBack route:
1. Press the MENU key to display the Main Menu page.
2. Using the ARROW KEYPAD, highlight the ‘Tracks’ tab, then highlight the ‘Active’ tab to the right.
3. Press the ‘Clear’
SOFT KEY to select the ‘Clear’ option.
4. Highlight the ‘OK’ field and press ENTER/MARK to confirm
You must first save the track log before you can use the ‘Follow Track’ feature. The Save feature allows
you to store up to 20 track logs from certain times and dates.
To save a track log:
1. From the Main Menu, use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight the ‘Track’ tab, then highlight the ‘Active’
tab to the right.
2. Press the ‘Save’ SOFT KEY to select the ‘Save’ option.
3. From the ‘Save Back Through’ window, highlight the desired time, date, or ‘Entire Log’, and then press
ENTER/MARK.
