The Tracks Page
Using the Tracks Page
Your Earthmate GPS PN-20 is set by default to record GPS tracks. That means the device creates
a track, or “breadcrumb trail,” of your travels until you turn recording off. The appearance of the
breadcrumb trail is based on your GPS status.
• When you have a 3-D fix, your track displays as a green line.
• When you have a 2-D fix, your track displays as a yellow line.
• When the GPS cannot acquire a fix, no points are placed on the map. Points are again placed
once a 2-D or 3-D fix is established. If a GPS connection was established and lost, a red line
indicates the last GPS location.
The Tracks Page lets you save, clear, or follow the current track, or view/follow an existing track.
