Managing Your Tracks

The GPSMAP 378/478 draws an electronic breadcrumb trail or

track log on the Map Page as you travel. The track log contains

points along its path, including time, and location for each point.
The track log starts recording as soon as the GPSMAP 378/478 gets

a location fix. For the best results, clear the track log before you

start traveling because when the track log is full, new track points

overwrite the oldest track points.
The percentage of memory used by the current track log appears at

the top of the Active tab. After the track log is cleared, it shows zero

percent. When the track log reaches 100%, the most recent track

points start to overwrite the oldest track points (if Wrap is selected

for Record Mode). To avoid losing track points, save the track log

when it approaches the 99% mark.

Setting Up and Saving Your Tracks

You must save the track log before you can use the Navigate Track

feature. The Save feature allows you to store up to 15 track logs

from certain times and dates.

To access the Track tab:

1. Press

MENU twice to open the Main Menu.

2. Highlight the

Track tab.

Active Track Tab

Record ModeWrap records over the oldest tracks when the track

log reaches 100%. Fill records a track log until the track log is full

(100%). When Off is selected, the unit does not record tracks.

traveled. Time creates track points after a specified time has elapsed.

the resolution entered, the more points the unit creates to make the

track.
