Creating a Route From a Trail
A trail is a line drawn on the map by your GPS unit as you travel. It's a re-
cord of the path you've taken, showing where you've been. This feature is
also called a plot trail. In the field, the trail will extend from your present
position back to where you began recording the trail. Your GPS unit re-
cords thousands of position points to show every twist and turn you've
taken on your journey.
To get a trail into MapCreate, you must record a trail in your unit, then save
the trail in a GPS Data File. Copy the data file from the MMC to the Map-
Create data folder. When you open the GPS Data File, MapCreate will dis-
play the trail as a green line on the Master Map.
MapCreate can use a GPS plot trail to create a route for use on a repeat
trip. Your GPS unit can navigate the new route, making it easy to retrace
