2.4 USING TRACK
A very useful feature of the chart plotter, is the ability to store and display exactly
where the boat has been. This feature, referred to as Tracking, can provide in-
valuable information about the effect of tide and wind influence on the boat's
progress as well as giving an indication of the helmsman's performance.
When full storing capacity has been reached, the oldest points are deleted and
overwritten by the newest ones.
Setting up a Track Step
Before you use the Track function, it is important to specify the Track step unit: if
you select Distance, the Track point is placed when the distance from its last
stored position is greater than the defined distance; if Time, the Track point is
placed after the defined time.
