Update Trail Criteria (Auto, Time, Distance)

The options are automatic, time, or distance. When it's in the default

automatic mode, the unit doesn't update the plot trail while you're

traveling in a straight line. Once you deviate from a straight line, the

unit "drops" a plot point (trail waypoint) onto the trail. This conserves

trail points. If a plot trail uses all of the available points allotted to it,

the points at the start of the trail are removed and replaced by points at

the end of the trail.
