Navigating Trails

There are three methods for following a trail: visual trailing, navigat-

ing a trail forward and back tracking a trail. Try each method to see

which you prefer. Visual trailing is the simplest method. It uses only

the Map Page and requires no menu commands at all. The technique

works the same if you are running a trail forward or backward. How-

ever, visual trailing provides no navigation information during the trip,

such as the time to your destination.
