Navigating Trails
There are three methods for following a trail: visual trailing, navigat-
ing a trail (forward) and backtracking a trail (backward). 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 (from start to end) or backward (from
end to start). Visual trailing, however, provides no navigation informa-
tion during the trip, such as the time to your destination.
The other two methods provide a full range of navigation data and
work with both the Map Page and Navigation Page. The only difference
between them is "navigating a trail" follows a trail forward, while
"backtracking" follows a trail in reverse.
When hiking at walking speed with a hand-held GPS, we often just use
visual back trailing because it is better following each little turn on a
foot path. At faster speeds — like traveling on the highway or on the
water — the Navigate Trail and Backtrack Trail commands are handy.
Visual Trailing
1. On the Map Page, zoom (
ZIN
or
ZOUT
) so your trail is visible.
2. Begin moving and watch the Map Page. Simply walk or steer so your
current position arrow moves along the trail you have just made.
Tip:
Generally, when using this method, the smaller the zoom range,
the more accurately you will be able to steer along the trail.
