arrow icon. The unit creates a Trail line by recording a string of trail
points along your path. The unit can save 100 trails with 10,000 points
per trail. The default setting is 2,000 points per trail. When the trail
exceeds the maximum point setting, the unit will begin recording a
trail over itself. Up to 100 Trails can be saved to an SD card. Trails can
then be deleted from the unit's memory and a new set of trails re-
corded. GPS data files can be backed up on a computer using the USB-
to-PC cable.
Trails can be reloaded from an SD card to the unit's memory. To pre-
serve a Trail from Point A to Point B, first create a new trail at Point A.

line. The Navigate Trail command converts a trail into a route. Select
