The track log starts recording as soon as the aera gets a location fix. For the best
results, clear the track log before each flight.
The percentage of memory used by the current track log appears at the top of the
Track Log Window. After the track log is cleared, it shows zero percent. When the
screen reaches 100%, the most recent track points start to overwrite the least recent
track points (if ‘Wrap’ is selected in the Record Mode Field). To avoid losing track
points, save the track log when it approaches the 99% mark.
The Save feature allows storage of up to 15 track logs.
